If you are familiar with the concept of a peach dump cake or dump dessert (usually made with boxed cake mix and canned peaches), this crock pot peach cobbler recipe is similar, but with one critical difference. Today’s recipe uses real, non-processed ingredients and fresh peaches. Its flavor and texture radically outshines anything you can find in a box, and, thanks to the slow cooker, it’s still quick and easy to make!
About This Tasty Crock Pot Peach Cobbler
The cobbler’s fresh burst with juicy nectar. The topping is bubbly, buttery, and golden. Once you’ve added a scoop of vanilla ice cream (or as we do in my family, a generous splash of heavy cream), I suspect that your reaction will be the same as my friend Matt’s upon his first bite: “I never want this to end.” In case the promise of fresh summer peaches floating beneath a golden crust of sweet, buttery intoxication isn’t enough to woo you, perhaps the ease of this recipe will. (And if you want fresh peaces to woo you at breakfast too, Peach Pancakes does both!) Like a dump cake, you simply pour the cobbler ingredients into your slow cooker, turn it on, and let the crock pot do the cooking. (Try this Crock Pot Apple Crisp for a taste of the crock pot’s heroism.) Layer the peaches in the bottom of the crock pot, scatter the dry ingredients over them, then place the butter pieces on top. That’s it! No need to heat the oven, dirty an extra bowl, or even mix.
Crock Pot Peach Cobbler – Simple Yet Perfect
The beauty of this crock pot peach cobbler is its simplicity. Resist the urge to “improve” it. Do not add nutmeg or cinnamon or ginger or lemon zest or any other ingredient that tempts you. It’s the fresh peaches here that shine, and they taste fabulous all on their own. Although I’m not certain if my Grammy owns a crock pot, I’m positive that this recipe would please her. It would also delight my sister, who loves fresh peach cobbler so much, she requests on her birthday, instead of cake. This crock pot peach cobbler recipe is also delicious with frozen peaches (no need to thaw them first), though if you are making it anywhere in the neighborhood of peach season, I heartily encourage you to try it with fresh peaches first. Whatever you do, please do not use canned peaches—the extra syrup will make the peach cobbler excessively sweet and goopy, and the flavor of the dessert will not compare.
