Instructions
Grease the crock of a 6 quart crockpot with butter. Pour the cans of cherry pie filling into the bottom of the crock pot. Add vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir together.
In a food processor, add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, remaining 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, salt, and cubed cold butter. Pulse mixture until it begins to look crumbly. Then, slowly stream the milk into the processor and continue to pulse until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
Add spoonfuls of the batter to the top of cherry pie filling. Covering as much of the filling as possible. It is ok to see some gaps. The batter will expand as it cooks.
OPTIONAL: Place several sheets of paper towels over the opening of the crockpot and cover with the lid. This will help catch excess condensation and allow cobbler to crisp up some. However, if you are worried about how hot your slow cooker might get, it is OK to skip this step, but the cobbler may not get that crispier top.
Cover the crockpot and cook on High for 2 to 2.5 hours**.
BROWN SUGAR TOPPING: In a food processor, add the light brown sugar, flour, and cold and cubed unsalted butter. Pulse several times until the mixture looks crumbly. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and cover. Store in the refrigerator until time to top the cobbler.
About 90 minutes into cooking the cobbler, remove the brown sugar crumble mixture and begin to sprinkle it on top of the cobbler. Breaking up any extra large crumble chunks.
Recover the crock and continue until finished cooking. Once done cooking, allow cobbler to set for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy!

Notes
**If your slow cooker cooks extra hot and fast, turn off the slow cooker after 2 hours and keep covered for until ready to serve. If the slow cooker is more even tempered, 2.5 hours cook time should be perfect.
