Crockpot Peach Cobbler With Cake Mix

This crockpot peach cobbler is the perfect easy summer dessert!

With just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of prep time, this cobbler is not only easy, but it’s also the perfect make-ahead treat for cookouts and parties!

Fresh peaches are tossed with cinnamon and brown sugar and topped with a tender cobbler layer that’s made with a boxed cake mix, and cooked entirely in your crock pot.

When it’s hot outside, the best desserts include ice cream of all flavors, and anything that you can bake that won’t require you to turn on your oven.

This Crockpot Peach Cobbler recipe is therefore the perfect summer dessert.

Since it’s baked in your slow cooker, the oven can stay off, and peach cobbler is at its best when you top it with big scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Why You’re Going to Love this Crockpot Peach Cobbler Recipe

It’s so easy to make peach cobbler in a crockpot with cake mix!

First, we’ll add fresh sliced peaches, cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice to the pot.

Then we’ll cover the fruit with dry vanilla cake mix that we’ve mixed with melted butter to create a tender cobbler topping.

After a few hours in the slow cooker on high, you’ll have a wonderful dessert of tender cooked peaches with a golden brown topping that you can scoop out and serve right away!

Just like Apple Pie a la Mode, or a Brownie Sundae, this summery peach dessert is best served warm, with homemade vanilla bean ice cream, peach ice cream, or cinnamon ice cream on top.

Ingredients in Homemade Crockpot Peach Cobbler

Peaches – If peaches are in season, this recipe works best with juicy, ripe, fresh ones! If you can’t find fresh peaches, frozen or canned peaches will also work. Just be sure to remove any excess juice or water from them.

Lemon Juice – Lemon enhances the flavor of the peaches, adding acidity and a bright, fresh flavor.

Brown Sugar – To sweeten the peach mixture. Taste your peaches before making this recipe. If they aren’t super sweet, you can add more sugar to the mixture, up to a total of ½ cup.

Cinnamon – This spice pairs wonderfully with peaches to add warmth and a wonderful scent to the dish as it’s cooking in the crockpot.

Cake Mix – Your favorite boxed vanilla cake mix is the main ingredient for the cobbler topping. You don’t need to mix it into a batter, so disregard the instructions on the back of the box.

Butter and Sugar– Unsalted butter is melted and then mixed with the cake mix and a bit of extra granulated sugar to create a sweet, buttery, and delicious peach cobbler topping.

Tips for Making This Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler Recipe

Use quality ingredients – When making homemade desserts, even ones with shortcuts like this one, you’ll want to make sure you are using high-quality ingredients for the best outcome.

Make this recipe super easy – Instead of making a fresh peach filling, use a can of peach pie filling instead! The result is slightly less homemade but still very tasty.

To make clean-up easy, use a crock pot liner to cover the pot.

Allow the cobbler to rest with the lid off for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the filling to thicken and keeps it from being so hot that it burns your mouth!

How to Store Leftovers

Keep leftover crockpot peach cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It’s best reheated in the microwave.

Crockpot Peach Cobbler Variations

This concept of making a cobbler in the crockpot can be adjusted to use other types of fruit!

Try apples, plums, pears, nectarines, or even cherries in place of the peaches.

Some people enjoy pecans with peach cobbler. Sprinkle a handful of toasted chopped nuts over the cake mix and sugar for an extra crunchy topping.
