INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut each nectarines in 12 slices and cut each slice in half.

- When you are ready to make the cobbler, drain the juices from the nectarines into another bowl and set aside.
- Layer the nectarines evenly on the bottom of a slow cooker. Layer the dry mix evenly on top of the nectarines.
- Sprinkle the top with cinnamon.
- Pour the nectarine juices on top of the dry mix. Place the cubed butter evenly on top of the juices and mix.
- Cook on low for 2 hours and serve warm.
- Add whip cream or ice-cream if desired.
