Crockpot Peach Cobbler
Nothing says home like the aroma of warm peaches and cinnamon wafting through the air. Crockpot Peach Cobbler has become a family tradition in our household, filling our kitchen with the kind of cozy joy that makes any day feel special. I stumbled upon the idea of making this recipe during a particularly busy week when I needed a no-fuss dessert for a family dinner. The slow cooker, one of my best allies in the kitchen, was the perfect solution.
What I love most about this cobbler is its versatility. Whether you’re using fresh peaches at the peak of their season or canned peaches from your pantry, it never fails to deliver that signature sweet, tangy, and buttery taste. My kids light up when they see me pull out the slow cooker for this recipe, and my husband always insists on a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top—though I’ll admit, it’s heavenly even on its own.
It’s the kind of dessert that feels indulgent but is surprisingly simple to make. While it’s great for special occasions, I’ve also made it on those random Wednesdays when we all needed a little pick-me-up. Trust me, the slow-cooked magic of peaches and tender cake-like topping will make you a believer. It’s a recipe that doesn’t just feed your family; it feeds your soul.
Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches add an extra layer of flavor, especially when they’re in season. Simply peel, pit, and slice about 5-6 peaches to substitute for canned.
What type of slow cooker works best?
Any standard slow cooker will work, but a 4-6 quart size is ideal for this recipe.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes! Substitute the regular cake mix with a gluten-free variety. It works just as well and tastes amazing.
Do I have to add cinnamon?
Cinnamon enhances the flavor, but if it’s not your thing, you can skip it or try nutmeg for a different twist.

How to Make Crockpot Peach Cobbler
Prepare the peaches: Drain the canned peaches and layer them at the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar over the top for added flavor.
Add the cake mix: Evenly distribute the dry cake mix over the peaches. Do not mix it in—this helps create the crumbly cobbler topping.
Pour the butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix. Try to cover as much surface area as possible to ensure the topping cooks evenly.
Cook: Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 3-4 hours. The cobbler is ready when the topping is golden and the peaches are bubbling.
Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
Tips for Making the Best Crockpot Peach Cobbler
Use high-quality peaches: Whether fresh or canned, ripe and sweet peaches make all the difference.
Don’t stir the layers: Keeping the layers intact ensures the topping has a perfect texture.
Experiment with toppings: Add chopped nuts or oats to the cake mix for a crunchy twist.
Serve fresh: While leftovers can be stored in the fridge, this cobbler is best enjoyed warm.
