I use the large can of canned peaches instead of the pie filling. Guests at my shows love this. In fact, I take two DCB to my shows. When I first get there I put the cobbler in the microwave so it's cooking and making the house smell yummy. Then I do the Barbecue chicken in front of them. This way they can see that they can make meals and/or desserts in them.
Here's a few quick tips. Put the canned peaches in a bowl with the juice and cut them up with the Salad Chopper then pour peaches & juice over the dry cake mix. Stirring it up after 3 minutes really helps. The caramel sprinkles are great to add the last 3 minutes of the cooking time. I also use the egg slicer to cut the butter into slices.
It's a great recipe that you can just walk them through and talk about the Salad Chopper and the sprinkles.

Preheat oven to 350.esavvymom said:
Pour 2 or 3 cans of apple pie filling in greased 9x13 dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of brown sugar over apples. Sprinkle a dry Butter Pecan cake mix over top of brown sugar. Thinly slice one stick of butter and layer on top of cake mix. Bake for 30 minutes (I believe it is 30 - trying to do this from memory). Remove from oven and sprinkle finely chopped pecans on top. Return to oven for 15 minutes.
Ok, these all sound wonderful, and I am definitely going to do them at my shows this weekend--just to clarify---2 cans of pie filling, 1 box of cake mix, 1 stick of butter, microwave WITH THE TOP OFF THE DCB, 10 mins., stir, and then 3 mins more? Is that right? Please let me know if this is right--I want to get hold of my hostesses and have them get the ingredients.
Ok, here's the verdict--made this today. Peach pie filling at my store was $4.95 a can, at 2 cans that's $10 just for the pie fillings. So....I bought two cans of sliced peaches in heavy syrup, and drained most of the syrup out. Put the peaches in the bottom of the DCB and cut them up with the Salad Choppers. Sprinkled cinnamon over the top of the peaches, and added 1 T White Karo syrup to make it just a little thicker. Mixed cake mix with 1/2 c. oats to make it more cobbler-like. Sprinkled the cake/oat mixture over the top of the peaches, topped with 1 stick of butter and microwaved uncovered for 10 min. Took it out of the microwave and added chopped walnuts, returned to microwave for 4 min. longer. It's to die for.

I have actually used the mini-baker to do this recipe... I use cherries or strawberries and white or french vanilla cake mix. I do ONE can filling (cheaper, and you can usually find a store brand of cherries) and approx half of the cake mix. then 1/2 to 2/3 the stick of MELTED butter over the top, and put it in the microwave. I do it uncovered the whole time of course cause it's the mini baker. It's awesome for a smaller party, or you know, a tuesday night... lol.
p.s. if there's any military families out there, offer to buy the filling for your hostess, at the commissary it's usually less than, or about $2 a can! Or sometimes you can find it at the dollar type stores, look around!
