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.
Easy Crockpot Peach Cobbler Recipe
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.
How to Make the Best Crockpot Peach Cobbler Recipe
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.
- Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Crockpot Peach Cobbler: One box yellow cake mix, three 15 ounce cans of peaches, cinnamon, butter, eggs, milk, half and half or heavy cream, cornstarch and vanilla extract.
- Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A 6 quart or similar size slow cooker, measuring cups and spoons, a can opener, mixing bowl, whisk and paper towels for covering the opening.
- 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 ¼ 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.
- Store leftover Crockpot Peach Cobbler chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave in single serving portions.

Hi Melissa,
I have gluten allergies, can I use a gluten free yellow cake mix
Brenda
Melissa
Hi Brenda, I haven't tested it specifically, but I can't see why you couldn't use gluten free mix. Let us know how you liked it!
Lori
This is SO easy to make. I've made it twice now once with frozen peaches and once with fresh. It turns out delicious either way. At the end of cooking don't forget to let it stand as Melissa says and the juices thicken a bit. Although we love it juicy!
Melissa
I'm so happy you're enjoying it, Lori!
Megan
Can I use a white cake mix?
Melissa
Sure, if that's what you have on hand.
Jacqueline Lynch
Good morning i was wondering if I could use fresh peaches, skim milk, and other items to make this low fat . I am on WW but this sounds wonderful for a summer snack.
Melissa
I haven't tested making all of those changes but, it likely could be adapted. If you try it, let us know how it goes!
