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

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 1/2 - 3 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.

The purpose of doubled paper towels is to collect the condensation that forms on the lid while the cobbler cooks. Don't skip it.
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 total.
It's important to allow stand time for the juices 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.
To Make in the Oven: Assemble in a buttered 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes then serve.
