  1. Cut each nectarines in 12 slices and cut each slice in half.
  2. Place the nectarines in a medium sized bowl. Add ¼ cup sugar and lemon juice and stir well. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow to sit overnight, stirring occasionally. This process releases the natural juices from the fruit.

  5. Layer the nectarines evenly on the bottom of a slow cooker. Layer the dry mix evenly on top of the nectarines.
  6. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon.
  7. Pour the nectarine juices on top of the dry mix. Place the cubed butter evenly on top of the juices and mix.
  8. Cook on low for 2 hours and serve warm.
  9. Add whip cream or ice-cream if desired.
