Ingredients You’ll Need
(6-quart slow cooker; serves 6–8)
- 2 (15 oz) cans sliced peaches in syrup (do not drain!)
- 1 (15.25 oz) box yellow or butter cake mix
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
- Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
💡 Pro Tips:
- Do NOT drain the peaches—the syrup provides essential moisture.
- Use full-fat butter—margarine or oil won’t create the same crisp topping.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over peaches before adding cake mix for extra warmth.
Step-by-Step Instructions (Gooey, Golden, Foolproof)
1. Prep Slow Cooker
- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Add Peaches
- Pour undrained canned peaches (syrup and all) into the slow cooker.
- Stir in cinnamon if using.
3. Sprinkle Cake Mix
- Do not mix! Simply pour the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches.🚫 No stirring—it forms the cobbler crust as it bakes.
4. Drizzle Butter
- Pour melted butter evenly over the top—do not stir. It will seep down and create a rich, golden crust.
5. Cook Low & Slow
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2–2.5 hours (or LOW for 3.5–4 hours), until topping is set and golden, and edges are bubbly.⚠️ Avoid lifting the lid early—steam is key for texture.
6. Serve Warm
- Scoop into bowls while hot. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
- Best served the day it’s made—topping softens over time.
Serving Suggestions
- 🥄 Classic: À la mode with vanilla ice cream
- ☕ With drinks: Hot spiced tea, coffee, or cold milk
- 🎉 For gatherings: Double the batch—it vanishes fast!
Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
- Fridge: Keeps up to 2 days—reheat gently in microwave or oven.
- Freeze: Not recommended—cake topping becomes soggy.
- Prep ahead: Measure ingredients morning-of; dump into slow cooker when ready.
