Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, frozen peaches work well too. Thaw and drain them slightly before placing in the slow cooker to avoid excess liquid.

Ingredients
Fruit
- 2 15 oz cans of sliced peaches in heavy syrup
Dry Mix
- 1 box cake mix (yellow or white cake mix recommended)
Fat
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Empty the two cans of sliced peaches along with their syrup into a 4 or 6 quart slow cooker, spreading them evenly to form the fruit base.
- Add the cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix directly over the peaches and syrup, ensuring full coverage to create the cake layer.
- Add the butter: Cut the 1/2 cup of butter into small pieces and dot the butter pieces evenly across the top of the cake mix. This will help create a moist, buttery crust as it cooks.
- Cook the cobbler: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the high setting for 2 to 3 hours, or until the cake topping is fully cooked and golden brown. Avoid opening the lid frequently to maintain heat.
- Cool and serve: Once done, allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Serve plain or with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of boxed cake mix, but yellow or white cake mix works best for this recipe.
- If you prefer a less sweet cobbler, drain some syrup from the peaches before adding to the slow cooker.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model, so start checking at 2 hours.
- For easier serving, use a slow cooker liner or lightly grease the slow cooker before adding ingredients.
- This cobbler is best enjoyed warm but can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated.
