Ingredients
To create this easy and scrumptious slow cooker peach cobbler, gather the following ingredients:
2 (21 oz) cans of peach pie filling (look for low-sugar options for a healthier twist)
1 (15.25 oz) box of vanilla cake mix (can substitute with other flavors)
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, cubed (can use unsalted butter for a less salty taste)
Vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, for serving (optional, but recommended for an indulgent experience)
Equipment Needed
6-quart or larger slow cooker
Nonstick cooking spray
Measuring cups and spoons
Spatula or wooden spoon for serving
Serving dishes or ramekins (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Begin by spraying the insert of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. This will prevent the cobbler from sticking and ensure easy serving later on.
Step 2: Layer the Peach Filling
Evenly spread the peach pie filling across the bottom of the slow cooker insert. Make sure to cover the entire surface, as this layer will provide the base for your cobbler.
Step 3: Add the Cake Mix
Next, sprinkle the dry vanilla cake mix evenly over the top of the peach filling. Take care to distribute it uniformly to ensure that it cooks evenly. This layer will form a delightful, crunchy topping as it bakes.
Step 4: Dot with Butter
Place the cubed butter evenly over the top of the dry cake mix. The butter will melt as it cooks, creating a rich, buttery crust that adds depth to the dessert.
Step 5: Set the Cooker
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on high for approximately 2.5 hours. As it cooks, the peach filling will bubble up, and the cake mix will transform into a beautifully golden, crunchy crust.
Step 6: Check for Doneness
After 2.5 hours, check the cobbler. The top should be golden brown, and the filling should be bubbling. If it’s not quite there, you can add an additional 15-30 minutes of cooking time.
Step 7: Cool Before Serving
Once the cobbler is cooked to perfection, remove the lid and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes. This cooling period helps the flavors settle and makes it easier to serve.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Scoop generous portions of the warm cobbler into bowls or individual ramekins. For an extra touch of indulgence, top each serving with a scoop (or three) of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired, creating a delightful contrast of warm and cold, sweet and creamy.
