If you’ve read many of my recipes, you know how much I love a slow cooker. Put food on to cook while you do something else. Today’s recipe is for the summer favorite, peach cobbler, made in a crock pot. On hot summer days, you don’t need to turn on the oven to enjoy a fresh homemade dessert. I love peach season, but you can eat peach cobbler year round. Fresh or frozen sliced peaches, a little sugar, spices, and biscuit dough makes a traditional southern peach cobbler. There is no cake mix in this recipe. I prefer to know all the ingredients used and avoid chemicals. For gluten-free, use your favorite gluten-free flour. For vegan, use Earth Balance margarine sticks.
The slow cooker size can make a difference. Too big and your food can burn. Too small and it takes too long to cook. Be sure to place 2 paper towels or a clean dishcloth under the lid. The towels catch the excess moisture and will ensure a nice crust on your cobbler.
Eat it plain or top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

…what a summer treat!
Looks delicious! Excellent tip to use paper towel to catch the moisture and get a nice crust. It would never occur to me to use a cake mix!
I know, but lots of people do. I don’t quite understand it myself.
This recipe sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing. #MMBC
One of my favourite summer desserts! Love the idea of using crock pot to make this.
I don’t think I have ever had peach cobbler before but whenever I hear of it or see it, usually on TV I always think that I need to try it. I might have to now that you have shared a recipe.
Makes me wish I hadn’t donated my crock pot!
Oh this looks so yummy!
Looks delish, Carol! ????
Love the idea of using a crock pot to make this.
Happy Wednesday!
I love, love, love my slow cooker, too. It was one of the main “kitchen” things I made sure my kids had when they went off to college, in fact! 🙂 This looks delicious. I will have to give this a try! Thanks for sharing this post with us at the Will Blog for Comments #41 linkup. We hope to see you next time at #42, which opens Monday morning. Happy Independence Day! 🙂
I do not have a crock pot so will have to see if I can do this without it, but it does look so delicious.
