I added about 3/4 C plain flour and 1/2 tsp salt to the cake mix to cut the sweetness (add these until you think it tastes good/not too sweet, almost like a mildly sweet biscuit dough). I also added a pinch of salt to the cherry pie filling to cut sweetness also and to disguise any weird canned/fake flavor (add to taste). The butter I used was salted. I also added little dots of butter to the pie filling. Turned out very good and not too sweet.

Wonderful! I used fresh cherries from our yard, mixed with almond extract, cornstarch, and sugar. And I substituted toasted/glazed almonds for the pecans. Going to try it as a peach cobbler next!

A fantastic recipe, I used a small crock pot and halved the recipe using half the cake mix and 1 can of pie filling because I mad it for 2 people and it still lasted 3 days. will make many more times with different fruit!

This was very good! I halved the recipe because I used a small box of cake mix by Sweet N Low...next time I will have to make the full recipe...the entire family loved it. Thanks for a easy, delicious recipe!

If there was a way to give this 10 stars I totally would!!! This was the easiest and by far the best cobbler recipe I've ever tried. I used peach filling instead of cherry, smeared a small amount of butter all over my crock pot before putting anything in, and dotted a little butter on the top of the pecans. It was absolutely perfect at 3.5 hours. Also, I used a cake mix that did not contain dairy and soy margarine to make this dairy free. We put vanilla ice cream (regular for my hubby and soy for me and my DH) on top. MMMMMMmmmmmmm!
