Make Cake Batter
Melt butter and let it cool for 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and Greek yogurt or sour cream. At this point you can optionally add half a teaspoon of cinnamon. Just mix until combined, being careful not to over mix the batter.
Prepare Slow Cooker
Line the ceramic insert of your slow cooker with parchment paper and make sure hangs over the sides. This will prevent the cake from sticking and help with easy removal of the cake. Spray the parchment liberally with nonstick oil spray.

Make the Crumble
In a medium bowl combine all Crumble ingredients. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to carefully combine the butter with the other ingredients. Stop mixing when it looks like chunky sand.
Rotate and Add Crumble
After the Cake has been cooking for an hour, remove the lid and paper towels. Carefully remove the ceramic insert that the cake is cooking in and turn it 180°. This ensures even browning on the sides of the cake. After the turn, pour the crumble over the cake, replace paper towels and lid, and cook on HIGH for 40 MINUTES.

Lift the ceramic insert carefully out of the pot and let it cool for ten minutes. Then carefully remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and let it cool for 10 more minutes. Top with glaze and enjoy.
