Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler Recipe
Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler Recipe – A southern treat you can cook all day while you’re working. Then enjoy with a scoop of ice cream in the evening!
Southern Slow Cooker Cobbler
We southerners know our cobbler.
There are many fruity desserts that are often labeled cobbler… Crisps, crumbles, buckles, brown bettys.
However true southern cobbler has a thick sweet biscuit-like top that seeps down into the fruit while baking, creating caky “roots.”
As with so many classic dishes, there isn’t just one method for preparing a perfect cobbler.
I’ve found you can make a wonderful traditional cobbler in the slow cooker, on days you want to meal-prep in the morning and forget about cooking the rest of the day.
Fresh Peach Cobbler
Here in North Carolina, we are on the cusp of peach season.
All the glorious peaches from south of the border (The South Carolina border, that is) are almost ready, but not quite.
I made this Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler Recipe with frozen peaches today but will be making it again soon with fresh summer peaches.
Secret Ingredients
Peaches are fabulous on their own, yet even better when doctored with spices and booze.
I used two surprise ingredients to flavor the peaches for the cobbler:
- Musselman’s Apple Butter – Believe it or not, the deep apple flavor and spice in the apple butter make the peaches taste even peachier.
- Bourbon – The bourbon provides a rich caramel note to the filling.
Cobbler Topping
I covered the peach filling with a classic cobbler topping made with a bit of cornmeal for texture.
After pouring the cobbler top over the peaches it’s important to spread it all the way to the edges to create a barrier.

Then cover the slow cooker with a paper towel to absorb the condensation and place the lid on top.
Now it’s time to wait patiently… Or to not think about the Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler Recipe at all for quite some time.
Peach Cobbler Recipe
Once the top puffs up and gets crispy, the slow cooker peach cobbler recipe is ready to serve.
If your Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler Recipe is finished a little earlier, no worries.
You can turn the slow cooker off and leave it to rest until you’re ready to enjoy it.
Topped with Ice Cream
Then scoop out big portions of hot juicy peaches with the rich apple butter bourbon glaze and place it in bowls.
Make sure each scoop has a hefty piece of thick cornmeal crust on top and don’t forget the ice cream!

Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
- 3 pounds peaches (fresh or frozen), sliced
- 3/4 cup Musselman's Apple Butter or peach jam
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cobbler Top:
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter (1 stick)
Instructions
- Place the peaches, Musselman’s Apple Butter, bourbon, sugar, and salt in a large 6-quart slow cooker. Stir to coat. Then spread them out evenly.
- For the Cobbler Top: In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk in the milk. Then whisk in the melted butter until smooth. Pour the batter over the peaches making sure it coats the entire surface.
- Place a long piece of paper towel over the slow cooker and cover with the lid. Pull the paper towel tight so it doesn’t sag. (The paper towel absorbs the condensation so the top can crisp.) Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 7-9 hours. Once the middle of the top has puffed up and is golden around the edges, the peach cobbler is ready to serve. Check the center with a toothpick to be sure it’s baked through. Spoon the cobbler into bowls and top with fresh whipped cream or ice cream.

what do you suggest that I replace the bourbon with?
Hi Kathryn,
You can add apple juice instead of bourbon if you like!

I love it truly. It looks so yummy and delicious. Perhaps one of the best recipe I got. Looking forward for more such recipes. Thanks.
Can this recipe be made using an Instant pot?
Hi Nicole,
I haven’t tried that. However, I’m not sure the crust would come out the same if pressure cooked.
Can you use crockpot liner when making cobbler?
Hi Robin,
Yes, you should be able to use a liner. :)
Hi, have you made this with canned peaches? I’m curious if it would change the consistency too much.
Hi Maggie,
I’m afraid canned peaches might turn to mush. However, I haven’t tried it, so if you give it a go, please report back. :)

This is brilliant in the crock pot!
I love peach cobbler and I am loving that you posted how to make in the crock pot!!!
I love how easy this is! We also never have leftovers, which is an added bonus.
I had some frozen peaches and this was such an easy way to make a delicious cobbler!!
I made this last weekend and it is fabulous! One of my favorite recipes!
Have you tried using cloth towel under the crock pot lid? Seems like it would work but be a little more eco-friendly?
Hi Marie,
Yes, you can definitely do that! :)

Apple Butter is not a common staple in my area and I was wondering what I can replace it with.
Also, how long can this cobbler remain in the crockpot once it’s fully cooked? Should it be stored in the fridge if it’s not all consumed in one sitting?
Many thanks for your help and Merry Christmas!
Rosie
Hi Rosemarie,
You could use peach preserves and a little cinnamon and nutmeg in its place. If you give it a try, please report back. :)

I don’t have any yellow cornmeal. What can I substitute it with, please? Many thanks for your reply.
Hi Rosemarie,
You can definitely use white cornmeal or masa. However in a pinch, you can also just substitute more flour. Happy baking!

I’m going to try this recipe this weekend during a summer cook out. I’ll be using frozen peaches. Do I need to let the peaches thaw before mixing them in the bourbon and apple butter or can I mix them frozen??? Thanks!
Hi Nayrha,
You can pull them straight out of the freezer and place them in the crockpot! :)
This looks so yummy. I’ll try them out.
