Slow Cooker Pear Cake

Fall is in the air, and with it comes my favorite fruit of the year, Harry & David Royal Riviera Pears. They're delicious as a simple grab-and-go snack, but I like to add them to my favorite baking recipes for an extra dose of flavor.

This spiced slow cooker pear cake is a beautiful dessert and easy to make. It's also a great way to free up much-needed oven space when entertaining, as the whole cake bakes right in your slow cooker. It takes about 10 minutes to assemble before you can turn your attention to other dishes or hosting duties.

Simply line your slow cooker with foil (so you can easily remove the pear cake later) and then layer brown sugar, butter, and pears on the bottom. Pour the batter on top, turn on your slow cooker, and cover with the lid. Easy as cake!
