Ingredients

You'll need just 3 simple ingredients...

• 3 cans (about 45 oz) peaches in heavy syrup - It's important that you use the kind of heavy syrup, not packed in juice! This will give the peach cobbler that rich, sweet base.
• 1 box yellow cake mix - This cake mix flavor can be changed if needed, but I prefer yellow because of it's buttery finish.
• 1 stick of butter - It's also important that you not substitute margarine or oil...use the real deal!

Ingredient Variations

• This recipe can be made with any canned fruit. Apples, pears, pineapple, or cherries would be delicious. Just make sure they're packed in heavy syrup!
• Add another layer of texture by sprinkling ½ cup crushed pecans or walnuts on top of the butter before cooking.
• Use a different flavor of cake mix. This recipe would pair well with a strawberry or spice cake mix.

How to Make Crock Pot Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix

1. PREP: Start by prepping your Crock Pot. Spray the inside well with cooking spray so the cobbler won't stick, or line it with a slow cooker liner if you'd rather make cleanup even easier.
2. Next, pour in three full cans of peaches - syrup and all. Don't drain them! The juice is what blends with the cake mix and butter to make that gooey cobbler texture we're after. Sprinkle a box of dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches. Leave it just like that; don't stir.
3. Cut your stick of butter into thin slices, about ¼ inch thick, and lay them across the top of the cake mix. Try to cover as much of the surface as possible so the butter melts evenly into the cobbler as it cooks.
4. Place the lid on your Crock Pot and cook on high for 2-3 hours, until the top is set and turns golden brown. Around the 1-hour mark, check for any dry patches of cake mix. If you see some, lightly press them into the peach syrup with the back of a spoon-just enough to moisten them without stirring everything together.

That's it - really! It's a fairly quick Crock Pot recipe that is as simple as layering a few ingredients. It has a homemade taste with such comforting richness - perfect with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Helpful Tips & Tricks

• Your Crock Pot should be at least a 6-quart to prepare this recipe.
• Immediately after cooking, the juices/syrup at the bottom of the cobbler might be runny. This typically thickens quickly. If needed, let the cobbler sit for about an hour to cool; this will thicken the cobbler.
• If you can't find fruit packed in heavy syrup, mix 1 cup of brown sugar into the undrained canned fruit in step 1 of the recipe.
• LEFTOVERS: This recipe should be stored in the refrigerator after cooling. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days after cooking. When you're ready to reheat, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between.
