- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
Instructions

- Add Melted Butter: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then drizzle evenly over the cake mix topping to help it form a crisp crust.
- Cover and Secure: Place a paper towel tightly over the crockpot, then secure the lid firmly on top to trap steam and moisture during cooking.

- For easier cleanup, use a slow cooker liner or spray the crockpot well with cooking spray.
- Adjust cinnamon to taste for more or less spice.
