Slow-Cooker Peach Cobbler

Nothing beats biting into a fresh, ripe peach. But what if peaches aren’t quite in season? This peach cobbler in a slow cooker is the next best thing.

While most peach desserts use fresh peaches, our simple slow-cooker peach cobbler turns to peach pie filling. This is the ideal option to use in a pinch, and it’s paired with just two other ingredients to assemble a dessert in no time. Dump all the ingredients in a slow cooker and wait as the house fills with the aroma of peaches and vanilla. You’ll need a bit of patience, but after you take that first warm, gooey bite paired with vanilla ice cream, it’ll be worth it.

• Peach pie filling: No need to peel and pit peaches for this peach cobbler. Just open the two cans and dump the contents into the slow cooker. And no additional sugar is necessary—it’s already in the can.
• Yellow cake mix: The ingredients list on a box of yellow cake mix includes flour, sugar and a leavening agent such as baking soda. This cake mix serves as the dry mixture for the cobbler, combining with the butter to create the perfect topping for the peaches.
• Butter: Melted butter is combined with the cake mix to form a crumbly, flavorful topping. Butter also provides moisture to achieve the proper texture.

Recipe Variations

• Use another cake mix: This peach cobbler in a slow cooker can easily be made with another type of cake mix. Swap in a regular white cake mix—or even a gluten-free cake mix.

How to Store Slow-Cooker Peach Cobbler

How do you reheat slow-cooker peach cobbler?

It’s best to reheat slow-cooker peach cobbler in the microwave in short bursts until warm. Reheating it in the slow cooker may cause the peaches to stick or overcook.
