Make an easy Crock Pot peach cobbler with cake mix and just two other ingredients! Dessert is ready in a few hours with no work at all.
Fruit cobblers are easy and delicious desserts to make for just your family or for a party or potluck. They are even easier to make when you only need 3 ingredients and they cook in your slow cooker.
This peach cobbler is one of our most popular recipes and for good reason! It’s delicious and easy. In fact it’s so easy that you can also make a Easy 3 Ingredient Crock Pot Cherry Cobbler Recipe, a Easy 3 Ingredient Crock Pot Blueberry Cobbler Recipe, and a Slow Cooker Strawberry Cobbler with Cake Mix.
Or skip the cobblers altogether and just go for a 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker 7UP Cake Recipe!
Let’s make dessert!
Easy 3 Ingredient Crock Pot Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix
This recipe is traditionally called a cobbler, but it may be more of a dump cake. There definitely is a lot of cake here so if you want more fruit, you could easily add another can or two of peaches.
You will need exactly three ingredients to make this easy peach cobbler – canned peaches, a cake mix and butter. It’s easy to keep these ingredients on hand in your pantry so you can throw this together at any time for a last minute dessert.
Dump the peaches on the bottom of a slow cooker. I used a 4 quart slow cooker and it was perhaps a bit too big. A 3 quart would be perfect. If you use a larger slow cooker, then add more peaches to keep the cooking even.
You will want to use at least 1 can of peaches in heavy syrup. I used one of those and one in just peach juices. If you add more peaches to the recipe, keep the ratio of 1 can peaches in heavy syrup for every can of peaches in just juice.
Next, spread a cake mix on top of the peaches. I used a white cake mix because that’s what was in my pantry. A yellow cake or butter pecan would be good, too. How about trying a Funfetti cake mix for a little extra fun?! Any cake mix you think goes well with peaches will work.
The final step is to cut up a stick of butter and toss those pieces on top of the cake mix. DO NOT STIR! Resist the urge! Cover the crock pot, set on high and cook.
Start checking the cobbler after 2 hours on high. Slow cookers can be a bit temperamental so it’s best to check on food about 2/3 through the cooking time. I let the cobbler cook for 3 hours, but yours may be done at 2 or even 4 hours.
Insert a toothpick in the cake in the center of the slow cooker to test for doneness. The edges will get done first so don’t rely on that area. Check the center to make sure the cake is cooked through. The top should be browned more toward the center.
I still can’t believe this recipe worked! It was so easy, too. And most of the time I already have the ingredients in my pantry. The cobbler would be good with apples, cherry or any pie filling. You can also add cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract for a little added flavor.
Serve with homemade whipped cream or homemade vanilla ice cream.

January 9, 2021This was great. But I would add spices before cake mix.
Kathryn Gabel Wahlstrom
October 10, 2020Camille, are we related!? My maiden names Gabel and, based on your delicious recipes, I would surely welcome to to our Gabel table😉
Camille
October 23, 2020Ha ha! My husband is from New York if that helps.
Greg
September 20, 2020First time I made this it is was a little soupy. Next time I drained the first can of peaches and included the syrup from the second can. It was perfect. Making it for the third time and am adding a little brown sugar and cinnamon! Bon appétit!
mattie martin
September 20, 2020i hope this is good first time trying it
Phyllis Breese
July 15, 2020I literally have thousands of pins to choose from on my own boards, but I came across this today and made it immediately. omg-you have made me a dinner time rock star!!! it literally took me 3 minutes to make, start to finish, with ingredients I always have in my cupboards, and voila-with a scoop of ice cream, dessert on a Wednesday night (that never happens)! thanks for this-it’s definitely a keeper!!!
Annette
July 12, 2020Have you made this with fresh peaches? If so how many cups and should I add water?
Camille
July 13, 2020I have not but I think there is a comment from someone who has made it with fresh peaches.
Rebecca Payne
July 7, 2020I can’t wait to try it.
Ann Marie mcLaughlin
April 28, 2020Awesome
Beth
April 27, 2020Very easy to make. I would however suggest using peaches packed in water as this is extremely sweet!
Pam
April 26, 20208 oz. of butter would be 1 cup – 2 sticks. Probably intended 4 oz. – 1/2 cup – 1 stick.
Cathy
April 25, 2020Wow love it!
Judith R Deist
April 25, 2020Love you easy receipes. Ty
Pam Willis
April 22, 2020Going to try these, I love baking💖💖
Bobbe
April 18, 2020I made it today it came out great because I have a larger crock pot I used 3 cans of peaches, 1 &1/2 box of cake mix and 12 teaspoons butter I also added chopped walnuts to the peaches I will definitely make again, thank you
Camille
April 19, 2020Nice! I like the walnuts idea.
beth
April 15, 2020how can I make this without a slow cooker?
Camille
April 19, 2020You could try to make it in a dutch oven or in the oven on a low heat. I’ve never done it but it may work. I think I’d cover the dish with a lid or tin foil while baking.
Judy Rosewell
April 24, 2020Follow general instructions and bake for probably 1 hour at 325. . Start checking for donnest at 45 minutes. Little ice cream. Yummy.
Erin M.
February 27, 2020This was too good to not leave a comment. I made this last night and I can’t believe with only 3 ingredients how great it turned out. It took about 3 1/2 hours to get it where it was a little crispy on the top. It was gone within minutes. I had to sneak some and put aside for myself today lol. 2 thumbs up! Thanks for sharing.
Camille
March 14, 2020Thank you!

December 3, 2019I’m trying the peach cobbler recipe in my 3 quart crock pot on high heat and it’s looking really good.
Penny
August 29, 2019The picture of the ingredients for peaches in crockpot cobbler shows peaches in 100% juice so I bought that kind but after I got home I checked out recipe and it suggests one can In heavy syrup!
Can’t go to store again
What do u suggest??
Camille
August 31, 2019Just use the ones in the juice. It’ll be fine. That’s the can we used. Heavy syrup provides a heavier setting in the filling.
BRENDA MYREE
September 25, 2019Rather than using peaches in heavy syrup, I use peach pie filling…. if you happen to get plain peaches in regular syrup, you can always use cornstarch to thicken it up. Also, I like to add cinnamon and nutmeg.
Camille
September 26, 2019Good tip!
Dave
July 24, 2019Your picture shows a 4oz stick of butter. Yet the recipe calls for an 8oz stick. Should I just use 2 4oz sticks?
Bobbi McGuire
May 17, 2019I have made this twice. I used two large cans of peaches, 1 yellow cake mix and dotted it with butter .I cooked both on high for 3 hours. The first one was ok but the second one was pretty bad. I’m going to try for a third time. Any suggestions?
Camille
May 17, 2019That’s weird. Was it a different brand cake mix? Although, I never use the same brand consistently and it always turns out fine. Try cooking it for an hour longer see if that helps.
Reyna
May 28, 2019On the peach cobbler, we just dump the cake mix straight from the box wirhout mixing it? This is for the slow cooker that we put peaches cake mix & butter. My first time. Hope it turns out good after the 3 hour on high cooking.
Camille
June 3, 2019Yup!
Joycemazza
June 28, 2019Did you spray with non stick spray and to much butter could burn or maybe add vegetable oil maybe keep trying and dont give up good luck thank you for your great recipes you might of cooked it to long crock get hot quicker .you probably should keep checking the only thing when you open your lid the temperature drops lower
Camille
June 29, 2019Good suggestions!
KATHLEEN PORTOLANO
March 19, 2019Salted or unsalted butter?
Trying this recipe tonight
Camille
March 29, 2019I always use salted butter but either one.
Jessica Harris
February 24, 2019Do you miss the cake mix as directed from thebox or just put the box of cake mix in the slow cooker ?
Camille
March 1, 2019Don’t mix it. Just put in the slow cooker.
Kari Smith
February 21, 2019If you needed to double or triple your recipe, could you layer, peaches, cake then peaches cake, etc?
Camille
February 22, 2019I’m not sure the cake would cook in between like that. I’d use a larger slow cooker and just double it.
Tay
November 17, 2018This recipe was easy to make. Peach Cobbler was delicious. I added cinnamon and vanilla to spice it up.
Shala Gilliam
October 26, 2018I tried this recipe it was really good with the vanilla ice cream.
Cindy Ogden
October 15, 2018This one didn’t work for me. I cooked it for 4 hours and the cake still was not cooked through and the peaches were mushy. Not one I’ll repeat.
Elizabeth
October 10, 2018Easy and delicious
Ricquel Sheridan
October 9, 2018I made this tonight but I added rum flavored extract and sprinkled brown sugar cinnamon and nutmeg big crock pot so I added 4 cans of peaches and 1 box and half cake mix let it cook on high for 4 hrs it was so moist and delicious my children and their friends didn’t leave any for seconds
Camille
October 12, 2018Rum! What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Kathy
October 1, 2020Can I make this with frozen blackberries. Maybe thawed?
Camille
October 3, 2020Probably not. The pie filling provides a nice sauce to the cobbler that frozen berries won’t have.
Glory Sanders
October 1, 2018Has anyone tried it with fresh fruit !!!!
Su
October 15, 2019Yes, I did. It came out AMAZING! Since, I didn’t have the syrup , I greased the bottom, then laid out fresh peaches, with 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Then I added the cake mix and melted the butter and cooked on low for for four hours.
Shan McGowen
September 30, 2018Making this today
Kaylene Cameron
September 24, 2018I made this tonight to go along with our dinner. Although it tasted amazing it was very wet. I used two cans of peaches in heavy syrup and did not drain either one. Anyone have ideas on how to make it less wet? I was thinking about draining one of the cans of peaches of it syrup.
Camille
October 3, 2018Ours have never been wet. Yes I would try draining the one can.
Jen
September 12, 2018Has anyone doubled this and cooked it on low? Or even just cooked a single batch on low? Want to make for a fall 4 wheeler ride but will be gone for several hours.
Camille
September 14, 2018I haven’t done it on low ever but I think it’d work fine.
Joan
August 23, 2018Do you need to refrigerate the leftovers?
Camille
August 24, 2018Yes
Sondra
August 11, 2018I am making my own homemade peach pie filling to make with this and using the yellow cake instead. Add cinnamon a little nutmeg & just a touch of cloves. And little vanilla. It’s great!
Camille
August 20, 2018YUM! I love your peach version!
Jacqueline
August 5, 2018Thanks for this recipe. I made this today but with 2 cans of apple pie filling, cake mix, butter, and cinnamon. I put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and drizzled caramel, delicious!!
😍
Denise Selph
July 31, 2018I made this and added some frangelico liqueur to it for an adult dessert. Delicious!

Kayla
July 31, 2018Making this today, I added vanilla and little bit of cinnamon to the peaches and grabbed some vanilla ice cream for the side when it’s finished !

Camille
April 15, 2018The brown sugar is a great addition!

January 28, 2018Yummy and easy!
Myranda
January 22, 2018Can i use peaches in 100 percent juice?
Camille
January 22, 2018You can use any peaches you want! I just prefer the syrup because it creates a thicker “sauce” on the inside.
EBONY GADSON
January 13, 2018I have a 7 quart slow cooker, does this change the cooking time?
Camille
January 15, 2018I would recommend doubling the recipe for a 7 quart. Same time. I think the red slow cooker is a 3 or 4 quart. Slow cookers work best when the are 2/3 full and I’m afraid a single recipe of this in a larger crock would burn. But if you want to try a single batch, I’d cut the time down and keep an eye on it.
Quiché
January 12, 2018Fellow Michigander! Work at University of Michigan Hospital…..Go Blue! Recipe came out great! I added brown sugar, cinnamon and butter vanilla nut extract! Single mom of an 12 year old son. Plus Size Model in my spare time.

January 13, 2018Oh my gosh- I love your additions! Sounds delicious. UM hospital is such a great place. They do so much good!
Robert Shaner
November 22, 2017We had our Thanksgiving yesterday and I made this with a few changes. I used three cans of peaches (29 oz)and drained one, added cinnamon, nutmeg and walnuts. It was a little to sweet (but good) for my liking so next time I will drain two cans. Just had some for breakfast and still good.
Camille
November 22, 2017Yummy! Nice additions!
Deborah
November 17, 2017Can I use pears i have some. My pot is 5qt
Camille
November 18, 2017Canned? Yes, I’d think so! As long as they are in a syrup or juice.
Diana
November 14, 2017Can I use a slow cooker liner?
Camille
November 14, 2017Yes you can!
Anne
November 7, 2017Hi, I have a 3 quart,. How would I do the time and heat? Thanks
Camille
November 8, 2017I think you’ll be fine with the ingredients as listed in the 3 quart. Just make sure it doesn’t fill too much more than 2/3 full. If it fill it up too much, it won’t cook properly.
Rachel d
October 17, 2017Yea this took over 3 hours and still isn’t done
Camille
October 17, 2017Your slow cooker may run cooler than mine. Mine tends to run hot.
Meshalle
September 7, 2017Can you double the recipe and it still cook alright? Having a pot luck at work…. and I’m in charge of something sweet and I love peach cobbler!
Camille
September 8, 2017I have never done that so I don’t know! But you could do 2 crock pots!
Suzanne
August 22, 2017What a great idea looks delicious.

Kelly
July 19, 2018I’m currently making a full recipe in a 1.5 qt slow cooker. I only have a 7 qt and 1.5 qt so trying it out in the mini. The slow cooker is stocked to tue top but since there’s no egg if it’s a little raw it’ll still be good. I’ll let you know how long it takes once it’s done.
Camille
August 8, 2018How’d it work?
TomandKathie
September 24, 2018I have this in my casserole Crock Pot now…I wish I would have read the comments before I started..Shucks! Next time I will add some brown sugar and cinnamon to the peaches ..that tip sounded so good! I sprinkled a cinnamon sugar on mine before the butter and have it set on High for 2 1/2 hours…I will check it then to see if it needs more time.
