🛒 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
Ingredient
Amount
✅ Canned peaches (in juice or light syrup)
2 large cans (15 oz each), drained (reserve liquid)
✅ Yellow cake mix (dry)
1 box (15.25 oz)
✅ Unsalted butter
½ cup (1 stick), melted
✅ Ground cinnamon
1 tsp
🧁 Optional upgrades:
Pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract
Crushed graham crackers or chopped pecans sprinkled on top
Dash of lemon zest for brightness
💡 Pro Tip: Use regular cake mix — not gluten-free or sugar-free — for best texture.
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep & Layer
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker.
Spread the drained peaches evenly on the bottom.
📌 Keep ¼ cup of the peach juice — you’ll use it in a moment.
Step 2: Sprinkle the Dry Mix
Pour the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches.
Sprinkle with cinnamon (and any extra spices if using).
⚠️ Do NOT stir — the layers are key!
Step 3: Drizzle Butter & Juice
Slowly pour the melted butter over the top — let it seep down naturally.
Add the reserved ¼ cup peach juice around the edges.
🔥 This creates steam and helps form the cobbler crust.
Step 4: Cook Low & Slow
Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours
Or on HIGH for 2–2.5 hours, until bubbly and golden on top
✅ The cake layer will rise and bake into a soft, crisp-topped cobbler.
