This easy peach cobbler comes together with just four simple ingredients and a slow cooker. The peaches become tender and syrupy while the cake mix and butter create a soft, buttery cobbler topping.
Servings
6–8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15–16 oz each) sliced peaches in heavy syrup or juice, undrained
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, dry
- 1/2 cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or apple pie spice)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: Add the Cake Mix
Pour the dry yellow cake mix evenly into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Do not prepare the cake mix according to the package directions.
Step 3: Add the Cinnamon
Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the dry cake mix.
Step 4: Add the Peaches
Pour the canned peaches and all of their liquid directly over the cake mix.
Try to distribute the peaches evenly across the surface.
Do not stir.
Step 5: Drizzle with Butter
Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the top, covering as much of the dry cake mix as possible.
Again, do not stir.
Step 6: Cook
Cover and cook on:
- HIGH for 2–3 hours, or
- LOW for 4–5 hours
The cobbler is ready when the peaches are bubbling and the topping is set and lightly golden around the edges.
Step 7: Rest
Turn off the slow cooker and let the cobbler rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.
This helps the filling thicken slightly.
Step 8: Serve
Spoon into bowls and serve warm.
Optional Toppings
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Caramel sauce
- Chopped pecans
- Extra cinnamon
Storage
- Refrigerator: Up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- Freezer: Up to 2 months.
Tips
- Peaches packed in heavy syrup will produce a sweeter cobbler than peaches packed in juice.
- If some dry cake mix remains on top after adding the butter, that’s normal. It will hydrate as the cobbler cooks.
- Apple pie spice can be substituted for cinnamon for a warmer flavor profile.
