My husband had a really long week at work, and I wanted to surprise him with something warm and comforting when he got home. I saw this Crockpot Peach Cobbler from Six Sisters Stuff and knew I had to try it! They promised it was foolproof and delicious.

They were right! My husband’s tired face lit up when I put this down in front of him! I’ve got to say that this was ADDICTING!

It even tasted good reheated the next night. You simply have to try it!

Crockpot Peach Cobbler Is the Perfect Comfort Dessert

Crockpot peach cobbler is one of those desserts that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. It’s so easy to make, and the amazing smell of peaches and cinnamon will have everyone lining up before it’s even ready. Whether you’re cheering up a loved one or treating yourself, this recipe is sure to put a smile on someone’s face. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Pick Your Peach

This recipe works great with fresh, ripe peaches or peaches from a can. I have even combined the two.

Bowl of Sliced Peaches in a Glass Bowl

Fresh peaches: Slice about 6-8 ripe, juicy peaches, making sure to remove the skin and pits. Fresh peaches give the cobbler a vibrant, natural sweetness that’s hard to beat.

Canned peaches: Use 2 standard 15 oz cans of peaches, thoroughly drained of their syrup. Canned peaches are a convenient option and work just as well if fresh ones aren’t available.

Basically, you’ll need about 4 cups of peaches total for this recipe to get that perfect fruity base.

In a medium-sized bowl, toss the peach slices with 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon until every piece is coated evenly. This step ensures that the flavors meld beautifully as they cook.

Make sure every peach is thoroughly coated, then dump them into the Crockpot (this one is on sale for $34.99!).

Step 2: Get a Little Cakey

Pull out a box of your favorite yellow cake mix. I got this one on sale for a buck!

Pour the entire mix over the peaches and then slice up a stick of butter. I put slices of butter all around the cake so that it would evenly seep into all the cracks during cooking time.

Cover the Crockpot and cook on HIGH for 3.5 hours or until the top is golden brown and bubbling on the sides.

Step 3: Dish It Up

Pull out some pretty ramekins or small bowls of some kind. Why small, you ask? Because this peach cobbler is so addicting, it requires a lot of restraint to keep from eating it all!

While it’s nice and warm, scoop on some vanilla ice cream and watch it melt into the cracks. Oh man, I wish there were smell-o-vision and taste-a-vision on the computer because this peach cobbler is to die for!

I love how the heat from the cobbler meets the cold of the ice cream and melts in my mouth! This has got to be one of the most down-home comfort foods ever created!

Endless Variations for This Recipe

Now that I’m done swooning (and wiping the drool off my chin), let me tell you how versatile this recipe is. Keep the basics the same, and you can try all sorts of flavors: cherry, apple, blackberries, etc.

What a great dessert to have cooking while you host a dinner party! How convenient would this be to serve at a potluck or BBQ? Want to score points with the spouse? Have this waiting, and my, oh my, you’ll make one happy camper!

Since the dessert is on the heavier side, I opted for a lighter dinner of grilled chicken and artichoke salads. The peach cobbler would also go well with chicken Caesar salads or hearty four-cheese ravioli and kale soup. Just some ideas if you need inspiration. Happy cooking, ya’ll!
