This easy Crockpot Peach Cobbler is the dessert equivalent of comfort food. Enjoy it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for a warm and cozy dessert.
Crockpot Peach Cobbler
I often have visitors ask me the difference between a crockpot and a slow cooker. Well, Crock Pot is a brand that’s become synonymous with slow cooking. Many other brands feature slow cooking appliances and they’re one of those tried and true kitchen gadgets that spans generations. Depending on the age of the slow cooker, the cooking time can vary. Most recent models tend to cook hotter and faster than those from years ago that our Mom’s used. This is all due to food safety and regulations. You can use any slow cooker to make crockpot meals, side dishes, casseroles and desserts like this peach cobbler. I use mine on a regular basis.
The Advantage of Crockpot Cooking
One of the many advantages of slow cooking is the convenience. Dishes can be assembled leaving you free to work on other tasks or run errands. Another advantage is, slow cooking turns inexpensive cuts of meat into tender and succulent meals. That’s a win in my book. In this instance, the yummy cobbler can be assembled and baked while you enjoy dinner.
- The purpose of doubled paper towels is, to collect the condensation that forms on the lid of the crockpot while the cobbler cooks. Don’t skip it.
- This cobbler is designed to be “juicy.” You may choose to use the syrup from all 3 cans of peaches, if preferred. When doing so, there’s no need to make any other adjustments.
- Should you choose to use peaches in light syrup, please note, the juice is thinner and less sweet than peaches in heavy syrup. You’ll need about 1 to 1 1/4 cups juice from the peaches, total.
- It’s important to allow stand time for the syrup to thicken before serving.
- You can use a yellow cake mix, a vanilla cake mix, or a butter cake mix for this recipe.
- Enjoy with a scoop of classic vanilla, peach or caramel ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

Crockpot Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
- 3 15 oz cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup (Use 2 cans plus juice, drain the 3rd and reserve)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 3 Tbsp milk or half and half
- 1 large egg
- 1 15.25 oz box yellow, butter or vanilla flavored cake mix
- ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Spray the crock of a 6 quart oval crockpot or similar with cooking spray.
- Pour 2 cans of peaches with syrup, and peaches only from the 3rd can, into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add vanilla and cinnamon.
- Dissolve cornstarch in just enough of reserved syrup (from 3rd can) to make it smooth. Pour into crock, gently stir to combine.
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together butter, milk and egg. Add cake mix fluffing with a fork until fully moistened. Dollop evenly over peaches. They don't have to be completely covered. Leave a 1/2 inch border along the outer edge to allow for expansion.
- Place doubled paper towels over opening of slow cooker, then place lid firmly on top.
- Bake on high for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Uncover and check center of cake for doneness at 2 hours with a toothpick or cake tester looking for a clean toothpick. If it needs additional time, replace paper towel and cover.
- Once done, let stand uncovered for 10-15 minutes for syrup to thicken, then serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
