How to Make Slow Cooker Apple Cranberry Spice Cake

Grease your slow cooker generously with cooking spray or butter.
Place the sliced apples at the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and brown sugar, then add the cranberries.
Drizzle the vanilla bean paste over the fruit mixture and give everything a gentle stir.
Carefully sprinkle the spice cake mix over the top of the fruit layer. Avoid stirring.
Melt your butter and pour it evenly over the cake mix layer.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set to high heat. Cook for about 3 hours.
Check doneness by gently pressing the top of the cake; it should feel firm.
