Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the slow cooker
Lightly grease the inside with butter or non-stick spray. -
Add the peaches
Pour the canned peaches with their juice into the bottom of the slow cooker. Spread them out evenly. -
Top with cake mix
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches. Do not stir. -
Add the butter
Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix as evenly as possible. This will help form that golden, cobbler-like topping. -
Cook
Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours or until the top is set and lightly browned. -
Serve
Spoon the warm peach dessert into bowls. It pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips for Success
-
Extra flavor boost: Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg over the cake mix before adding the butter.
-
Make it richer: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of chopped pecans on top.
-
Try variations: Swap canned peaches for canned cherries, apples, or pineapple for new flavors.
