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 is definitely a lot of cake here, so if you want more fruit, you could easily add another can or two 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 to 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 of 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 crockpot, set it on high, and cook.
Start checking the cobbler after 2 hours on high. Slow cookers can be 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 into 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. To add flavor, you can also add cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract.
Serve with homemade whipped cream or homemade vanilla ice cream.

Has anyone made this in the oven in a casserole dish?
I am looking for a dessert for camping with friends. This would work since I donāt have an over in my RV.
Going to try it out today for the game. I will add some cinnamon and brown sugar as others have suggested. Iāll post my results.. thanks for the recipe
I just started making this in a 6 quart crockpot, hopefully it will work out. Has anyone made this in a 6qt crockpot?
You may want to double it for a 6 quart. But it should be fine. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
Can I substitute applesauce for the butter? I know you can in some baked dishes. Thanks!
No, I wouldn’t substitue.
Yes, several times, itās great!!!!
Has anyone tried this in a 7Qt Crockpot? If so, please leave me the details….TIA
I plan to make the peach cobbler with canned peaches. I like recipes that are easy to cook and tasty! Now that I found your site, I will be trying several others! Thanks for sharing!
Instead of using 2 cans of peach pie filling or peaches in heavy syrup, can I use
1 can of cherry pie filling and 1 can of crushed pineapple–along with the other ingredients?
Do you think the pineapple might have too much juice??
I’m not sure! I think it would work. It just might be a little runny.
I have done with cherry pie filling. I have an oblong 6 qt crockpot, so I used 2 cans. I have done with different flavors cake mixes. Chocolate cake mix with cherry was yummy. With the peaches I use spice cake mix.
If I were to add cinnamon, how much would you suggest?
Maybe a teaspoon? Cinnamon can be really strong.
Can I add vanilla abstract
Sure!
can i use a baking mix?
Do you mean like Bisquick? Maybe. It wouldn’t be as sweet as a cake mix.
I am trying it tonight using 2 canned pears in light syrup. (I was out of peaches). I’ve added cinnamon & nutmeg, to my yellow cake mix, & butter. It smells great, but we shall see! (I made the peach one before, & it was great). Wish me luck!
Anyone know how I could make in the instant pot?
I don’t cook. I never learned. I get very anxious and overwhelmed.
But I did it. So easy and delishes!
Can this be made in a 2 qt crockpot? I only have a 2qt and a 6 qt.
I think so!
You would probably have to halve the recipe
This was great. But I would add spices before cake mix.
Are use spice cake mix it has all your spices so delicious
Good idea!
Camille, are we related!? My maiden names Gabel and, based on your delicious recipes, I would surely welcome to to our Gabel tableš
Ha ha! My husband is from New York if that helps.
First 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 appƩtit!
i hope this is good first time trying it
I 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!!!
Have you made this with fresh peaches? If so how many cups and should I add water?
I have not but I think there is a comment from someone who has made it with fresh peaches.
I can’t wait to try it.
Awesome
Very easy to make. I would however suggest using peaches packed in water as this is extremely sweet!
8 oz. of butter would be 1 cup – 2 sticks. Probably intended 4 oz. – 1/2 cup – 1 stick.
Wow love it!
Love you easy receipes. Ty
Going to try these, I love bakingšš
I 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
Nice! I like the walnuts idea.
how can I make this without a slow cooker?
You 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.
I saw a Tiktok making this using peach pie filling (2 cans) ā¦ Anyone else tried this?
Follow general instructions and bake for probably 1 hour at 325. . Start checking for donnest at 45 minutes. Little ice cream. Yummy.
This 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.
Thank you!
I’m trying the peach cobbler recipe in my 3 quart crock pot on high heat and it’s looking really good.
The 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!
Canāt go to store again
What do u suggest??
Just 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.
Rather 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.
Good tip!
I use the peach pie filling also I also use a spice cake mix because it has all the spices in it just an idea for you
Your picture shows a 4oz stick of butter. Yet the recipe calls for an 8oz stick. Should I just use 2 4oz sticks?
I 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?
That’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.
On 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.
Yup!
Did 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
Good suggestions!
I forgot to spray the crock pot bowl hope itās ok š
It should be fine!
Salted or unsalted butter?
Trying this recipe tonight
I always use salted butter but either one.
Do you miss the cake mix as directed from thebox or just put the box of cake mix in the slow cooker ?
Don’t mix it. Just put in the slow cooker.
If you needed to double or triple your recipe, could you layer, peaches, cake then peaches cake, etc?
I’m not sure the cake would cook in between like that. I’d use a larger slow cooker and just double it.
Can I put brown sugar on my peaches before putting cake mix in
Yes!
This recipe was easy to make. Peach Cobbler was delicious. I added cinnamon and vanilla to spice it up.
I tried this recipe it was really good with the vanilla ice cream.
This 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.
Mine did the same. It was a mushy mess. It may be good over ice cream!
It may need more time to cook.
Easy and delicious
I 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
Rum! What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Can I make this with frozen blackberries. Maybe thawed?
Probably not. The pie filling provides a nice sauce to the cobbler that frozen berries won’t have.
Has anyone tried it with fresh fruit !!!!
Yes, I did. It came out AMAZING! Since, I didnāt 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.
Making this today
I 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.
Ours have never been wet. Yes I would try draining the one can.
Has 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.
I haven’t done it on low ever but I think it’d work fine.
Do you need to refrigerate the leftovers?
Yes
I 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. Itās great!
YUM! I love your peach version!
Thanks 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!!
š
I made this and added some frangelico liqueur to it for an adult dessert. Delicious!
Oh gosh YUM!!
Making this today, I added vanilla and little bit of cinnamon to the peaches and grabbed some vanilla ice cream for the side when itās finished !
Can you use fresh fruit ?
I think so. I’ve never done it though.
To use fresh fruit just prepare fruit and in a bowl add sugar put in fridge and it will make its own juice.
I’m making this today…š
Enjoy!
What temp do you put your crock pot
On High
This will be one to go for when in a hurry. We were married I Las Vegas 57 years ago in The Little Chaple of The West.

That chapel is still here and it’s one of my favorites! š
LOTS LESS WORK AND SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS… THANK YOU FOR THIS WEB SITE…
BEST I HAVE SEEN… WILL TELL FRIENDS TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT.
Thank you Jo Ann!
Made this today , it was wonderful , easy and yummy , i used a crock pot liner for easy clean up . The only thing I , did different was I added a 1/3 cup of brown sugar to the peaches , I will be making this again , thank you for sharing …
The brown sugar is a great addition!
I cook this with different fruits at least once a month. Big Big hit! ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤.
Thank you so much

Yummy and easy!
Can i use peaches in 100 percent juice?
You can use any peaches you want! I just prefer the syrup because it creates a thicker “sauce” on the inside.
I have a 7 quart slow cooker, does this change the cooking time?
I 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.
Fellow 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.
Oh my gosh- I love your additions! Sounds delicious. UM hospital is such a great place. They do so much good!
We 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.
Yummy! Nice additions!
Can I use pears i have some. My pot is 5qt
Canned? Yes, I’d think so! As long as they are in a syrup or juice.
You can use any fruit, pear, blueberry, cherry, apple, blackberries, dewberries, and many more. Go wild. Just use firm ripe fruit and have fun.
Can I use a slow cooker liner?
Yes you can!
Hi, I have a 3 quart,. How would I do the time and heat? Thanks
I 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.
Yea this took over 3 hours and still isnāt done
Your slow cooker may run cooler than mine. Mine tends to run hot.
Can 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!
I have never done that so I don’t know! But you could do 2 crock pots!
What a great idea looks delicious.
This is a great recipe, we love Peach Cobbler! Hope you are having a great day and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I will be making this for Thanksgiving, love peach cobbler. I think I will use three cans of peaches and add walnuts.
Such a simple and delicious recipe, I can’t believe I haven’t got a crock pot yet! Thank you for sharing with FF:)
Dang. Camille! I’m a single girl who can’t get behind a slow cooker — but, I may just have to buy one to try this recipe!!!
They make small ones! š
I’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.
How’d it work?
I 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.
Cobbler is the ultimate summer dessert! Thanks for sharing on Creative K Kids #TastyTuesdays
