Easy CrockPot Peach Cobbler Ingredients
This slow-cooker peach cobbler recipe tastes like peach pie without all the hassle of making peach pie filling, crust, etc. It’s like peach dump cake ! We used a 6-quart slow cooker that is smaller for this recipe. This will help it cook properly. The slow cooker will help cook the peaches and bake the topping for a balanced dessert!
Peaches – Fresh or frozen peaches work for this cobbler recipe. Old-fashioned oats – This gives a crispy topping with a soft bite to it. Oats are good for you and when cooked can have a firm texture that gives the cobbler a type of crust on top. Brown sugar – Added in for sweetness and texture. All-purpose flour – Gives the topping a structure to it and when adding in the butter it gives a crumbly topping. Cinnamon – A sweet and savory flavor to top off the peach cobbler. Baking soda and powder – Builds up the crust and helps form and cook properly in the slow cooker. Butter – Keep the unsalted butter cold. Thinly slice or dice in pieces to mix together with the topping ingredients. It is best to use a pastry cutter when making the crust. Nuts – walnuts or pecans chopped up in the crumble are optional, but give the dessert a wonderfully nutty flavor and texture. Optional flavors: pinch of nutmeg, a tsp of vanilla extract, or a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top

Tips for the Best Crock Pot Peach Cobbler Recipe
Follow these helpful tips to make the best cobbler ever! Really, you can’t go wrong with this peach cobbler. This is a dump-and-go dessert that takes minutes to put together. It is the perfect combination!
To avoid sogginess, here’s a smart tip: Place a paper towel over the top of the Crockpot before replacing the lid. The paper towel collects moisture as the peaches cook. Without the paper towel, moisture forms on the lid, and when the lid is removed the excess liquid drips onto the crumb topping making it soggy. Crockpot – I prefer using a crockpot for this recipe now because it doesn’t heat up the house and the smell of the baking peaches is divine! Heat the peaches on the stove top before adding them to the crockpot. This will help the cobbler cook faster, and the cake will cook more thoroughly. Fresh or frozen – If you don’t have fresh peaches, you can definitely use frozen or even canned. Just be sure to thaw them out and drain them before adding them to the crockpot, to avoid excess liquid in the recipe. Blanch peaches – If you are using fresh peaches in this recipe, be sure to blanch the peaches before you peel them. It makes peeling so much easier!
How to Blanch Peaches
Blanching peaches are not necessary for this recipe but it will enhance the peaches ahead of time. These are simple steps that can be done quickly and easily. Prepare your peaches and be ready for a delicious homemade cobbler for dessert tonight!
Prepare – To blanch the peaches, prepare a large pot of boiling water. Score the bottom of each peach with an X. Boil – Place peaches in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure each peach is completely covered by water. If you have a smaller pot, you may need to do this in a couple of batches. Peel – Remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and immediately rinse with cold water or place them in a cold water bath. Once they have cooled to the touch, they can be peeled easily with a paring knife.
