Crockpot Peach Cobbler
Description
The Crockpot Peach Cobbler recipe uses fresh or canned peaches as the base, layered underneath a mixture of oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and leavening agents combined with cold butter to create a crumbly topping. Slow cooking on high heat for about 2 hours allows the peaches to soften and release their juices, while the topping bakes gently on top. The use of a paper towel beneath the lid prevents condensation from dripping onto the topping, keeping it from becoming soggy.
The dessert offers a comforting balance between soft, juicy fruit beneath and a subtly spiced, lightly crisp crumb layer above. It's cooked entirely in a slow cooker, which frees up the oven and lets the flavors meld over time without much active attention.
Serving suggestions include topping the cobbler with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to add creaminess and contrast the warm, fruity base. The dessert can be prepared ahead and kept warm or reheated gently if needed.
For best results, blanch fresh peaches before peeling to ease preparation, and preheating peaches can help speed up cooking. Using the paper towel method effectively captures moisture and preserves the topping texture. Variations include using a yellow cake mix topping in place of the crumb topping, with adjusted cooking times.
Ingredients
- 6-7 peaches large, peeled and sliced (6-7 cups frozen or bottled peaches)
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter cold, thinly sliced or diced in pieces
Crockpot Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix
- 6 cups peach canned, drained
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup butter
Instructions
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat with butter.
- Place peeled and sliced peaches in the bottom of slow cooker.
- In a bowl, mix together oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder.
- When ingredients are well mixed, place the butter slices evenly on top of the mixture then mix in the butter using a pastry blender or wooden spoon until it becomes nice and crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the peaches.
- Cover the top of the slow cooker with a paper towel then place the lid on top of the towel. The paper towel will absorb the moisture instead of it forming on the lid. This keeps the excess liquid from dripping on to the crumb mixture when the lid is removed.
- Cook on high for 2 hours.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Crockpot Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix
- Place peaches in crockpot, sprinkle on cake mix, slice butter and place it evenly on cake mix.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or until cake mix is golden brown on top.
Notes
- Blanch fresh peaches before peeling to make skin removal easier and preparation smoother.
- Preheating peaches before adding them to the crockpot can reduce overall cooking time.
- Place a paper towel between the slow cooker and lid to absorb condensation and prevent the topping from becoming soggy.
- Serve the cobbler warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added richness.
