This Crockpot Blueberry Peach Cobbler is a warm and tasty treat. With juicy peaches and sweet blueberries, it’s perfect for dessert any day of the week!
One of my favorite parts is how simple it is to make. Just toss everything in the crockpot and let it do its magic. Who doesn’t love an easy dessert, right?
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peaches give a lovely flavor, but you can use frozen ones if that’s what you have. Just be sure to thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing.
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work great, but frozen blueberries are a perfect choice too. They’re picked at peak ripeness and freeze well, so no worries there!
Cake Mix: If you want to change it up, try using a spice cake mix for a different flavor profile. You could even bake your own simple cake batter if you prefer homemade.
Butter: Unsalted butter lets you control the sweetness. If you need a dairy-free option, use coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute.
How Can I Ensure the Cobbler Cooks Evenly in the Crockpot?
Cooking in a crockpot is super convenient, but to make sure everything is cooking evenly, there are a few tips to keep in mind. First, layer your fruit mixture evenly across the bottom.
- Spread the cake mix uniformly across the fruit; this helps it absorb moisture properly.
- When you drizzle the melted butter, cover as much of the mix as you can. It will help with even baking.
- Consider not opening the lid too often during cooking. Each time you do, heat escapes, which can affect the cooking time.

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious crockpot blueberry peach cobbler takes about 15 minutes to prep and will cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. After cooking, let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. It’s simple and perfect for a cozy dessert!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Fruit Layer:
Start by grabbing a large bowl. Add the sliced peaches, blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Using a spoon, mix everything together until it’s well combined. Now, pour this tasty fruit mixture into the bottom of your crockpot.
2. Add the Cake Mix:
Take the dry yellow cake mix and evenly sprinkle it over the fruit mixture in the crockpot. Make sure you cover all the fruit so it cooks evenly.
3. Drizzle with Butter:
Now it’s time to drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix. Try to spread it out as much as you can for even cooking.
4. Cook the Cobbler:
Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on low for about 3 to 4 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the fruit is bubbling and the cake mix looks fully cooked.
5. Let It Rest:
When the cooking time is up, turn off the crockpot and let it sit with the lid on for about 10 minutes. This helps the cobbler settle.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Dish out your warm cobbler into bowls and top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy this warm, fruity goodness!
Can I Use Frozen Fruits in This Recipe?
Absolutely! Frozen peaches and blueberries work perfectly in this cobbler. Just add them directly to the crockpot without thawing them first. The slow cooking process will help them release moisture and cook down beautifully.
What If I Don’t Have Yellow Cake Mix?
No problem! You can use any other flavor of cake mix, such as vanilla or white cake mix, for a slightly different taste. Alternatively, you can make a homemade cobbler topping using flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk if you prefer.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave or in a small pot over low heat, adding a splash of water if it seems dry.
Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
While it’s best to enjoy this cobbler fresh, you can set up the fruit mixture and cake mix a day in advance. Just cover the crockpot and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, drizzle the butter on top and cook as usual!
