🥄 Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Peach Cobbler
Yields: 6–8 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 2–3 hours on HIGH or 4 hours on LOW
Ingredients:
-
2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup

1 box yellow cake mix (standard size, about 15.25 oz)
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended!)
👩🍳 Instructions:
-
Prep the slow cooker: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of your slow cooker with non-stick spray or butter.
-
Add the peaches: Pour both cans of sliced peaches with their syrup into the bottom of the slow cooker. Spread them out evenly.
-
Add the cake mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches. Do not stir — just let it sit on top like a crumbly blanket.
-
Add butter and cinnamon: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, making sure to moisten as much of the dry mix as possible. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top.

Cook:
-
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2–3 hours or on LOW for about 4 hours.

It’s done when the top is golden and bubbly and the edges are slightly crisp.

Serve warm: Spoon into bowls and serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or even a dollop of Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
