This recipe combines a medley of sweet, tender fruits—pineapple chunks, sliced peaches, pear halves, and vibrant cherry pie filling—gently cooked to perfection with a luscious blend of brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Simply toss the ingredients in your crock pot and let the magic happen over four hours, creating a rich, spiced fruit compote with a wonderfully thickened sauce. Serve it warm on its own or elevate it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream. Ideal for holiday gatherings, potlucks, or cozy family dinners, this crowd-pleasing dish will add a sweet touch to any meal!
Grease the inside of your crock pot with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, combine the drained pineapple chunks, sliced peaches, pear halves, and cherry pie filling.
Add brown sugar, melted butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well to coat all the fruit evenly.
Transfer the fruit mixture into the greased crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours, stirring gently halfway through to ensure even cooking.
After 4 hours, check that the fruit is tender, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve the hot fruit immediately as a side dish, or enjoy it as a dessert with ice cream or whipped cream.
