Okay, so I saw this recipe floating around for “Crockpot Peach Cobbler – 3 Ingredients” and I was like, no way, that’s gotta be too good to be true. But I’m a sucker for easy desserts, and I had a bunch of peaches, so I figured, why not give it a shot? Let me tell you, it’s ridiculously simple and actually turned out pretty darn good!
My Experiment Begins
First, I grabbed my trusty crockpot. I have one of the old-school ones, you know, the kind your grandma probably had. Then I dumped in a large can of sliced peaches in heavy syrup. Didn’t even drain them, just straight in there.
Next, I took a box of yellow cake mix. I used a basic one, nothing fancy. I just sprinkled the dry cake mix right on top of the peaches. No mixing, no stirring, just dumped it in.
Finally, the last ingredient: butter! I sliced up one stick of butter (that’s half a cup for you youngsters) into thin pats and arranged them evenly over the cake mix. It looked a little weird, gonna be honest, but I trusted the process.
The Waiting Game
I put the lid on the crockpot, set it to low, and…walked away. That’s the beauty of a slow cooker, right? You just let it do its thing.
- I checked on it after about 3 hours, and it was starting to bubble around the edges.
- I let it cook for another hour, so 4 hours total.
- By then, the top was golden brown and looked kind of like a crust.
The Verdict
I scooped out a big serving and topped it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. It was warm, gooey, and peachy. Seriously, for something so incredibly easy, it tasted amazing!
It’s not fancy, not going to win any baking awards, but the family will be happy.
The bottom was a little soft, more like a pudding than a traditional cobbler crust, but I didn’t mind one bit. The cake mix on top got nice and crumbly, and the butter made it rich and flavorful. It was a perfect mix of textures and flavors.
I’ve made it three times again since.
So, if you’re looking for a super simple dessert that requires almost zero effort, this 3-ingredient crockpot peach cobbler is definitely worth trying. You might just surprise yourself!
