🧡 Why You'll Love This Recipe

One word: easy. If you're looking for a dessert that gives the idea of homemade but requires almost no work, this is your recipe!

There are only three ingredients in this dessert that are all staple supplies. No mixing, no peeling, no chopping - you dump and go! This is similar to a dump cake, just a bit creamier and more buttery.

🍑 Crock Pot Peach Cobbler Ingredients

You'll need just 3 simple ingredients...

• 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.
• yellow cake mix - This cake mix flavor can be changed if needed, but I prefer yellow because of it's buttery finish
• 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 even more flavor to the cobbler by topping with cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg. You can also mix 2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract into the peaches to give the flavor more depth.
• 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 peach cobbler would pair well with a strawberry or spice cake mix.

🍽️ How to Make Peach Cobbler in the Crockpot

1. Spray a Crock Pot with cooking spray (or use a slow cooker liner). Add 3 cans of peaches (not drained) to the Crock Pot.
2. Sprinkle cake mix on top of peaches. Do not mix!
3. Cut butter into ¼" slices. Layer on top of cake mix.
4. Place lid on Crock Pot. Cook on high for 2-3 hours, until the top of the cake turns golden brown. Check the cobbler after about an hour of cooking; if there is still dry cake mix, gently mix it into some of the syrup from the peaches (mixing as little as possible).

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!

📝 Recipe 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.
• Fresh peaches or frozen peaches can be used instead of canned peaches. Add 1 cup of brown sugar with 5 cups of fresh/frozen fruit in step 1 of the recipe.

🧊 Leftover Storage

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.
