This cozy Crockpot Blueberry Peach Cobbler is a treat you’ll want to make again and again! It’s bursting with juicy peaches and sweet blueberries, all hugged by a soft, cake-like topping.
Just toss everything in your Crockpot and let it do the magic. I love serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top—pure comfort food! 🍑💙
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh Peaches: Fresh peaches are ideal for this cobbler, but you can substitute with canned peaches if they’re not in season. Just be sure to drain them well. I find that using yellow peaches gives a sweeter taste compared to white ones.
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are great, but frozen blueberries work just as well. Just toss them in without thawing. I love how frozen berries maintain their shape even after cooking!
Granulated Sugar: If you’re looking to cut back on sugar, feel free to use a sugar alternative like coconut sugar or a stevia blend. Adjust according to taste—sometimes less is more!
Yellow Cake Mix: If you want to avoid processed ingredients, you can make a homemade cake mix. Flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt make a great base. Otherwise, the store-bought mix offers convenience!
Unsalted Butter: You can swap out butter for coconut oil or vegan butter if you’re looking for a dairy-free option. I’ve made this with coconut oil and loved the slight coconut flavor it added!
How Do I Get the Right Texture in My Cobbler?
Getting the right texture in a cobbler is all about layering and cooking temperature. Start with a nice layer of fruit at the bottom to create that juicy base. The key is not to stir after adding the cake mix and water!
- Combine fruit, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon thoroughly.
- Layer the dry cake mix evenly over the fruit—this helps form a crust.
- Drizzle melted butter evenly to keep the cake moist while cooking.
- Pour water over it all without mixing. This creates steam, which is essential for cooking the cake mix perfectly.
- Check for doneness after 4 hours; it should be bubbly and cooked through.

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious cobbler takes about 15 minutes to prepare, then cooks in the crockpot for 4 to 6 hours. It’s a simple, no-fuss dessert that will fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma while it cooks!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Fruit:
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches and blueberries. Add in the granulated sugar, lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon. Toss everything together gently to coat the fruit evenly with the sugar and spices. Once mixed, set the bowl aside while you prepare the crockpot.
2. Get the Crockpot Ready:
Take your crockpot and grease the inside walls with non-stick cooking spray or a bit of butter. This will help prevent the cobbler from sticking and make clean-up easier!
3. Add the Fruit Mixture:
Pour the prepared fruit mixture into the greased crockpot. Spread it out a bit so that the fruit is distributed evenly across the bottom of the crockpot.
4. Add the Cake Mix:
Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the fruit mixture. Make sure to cover the fruit as much as possible, but don’t worry about being perfect. This will form the delicious topping as it cooks!
5. Drizzle the Butter:
Drizzle the melted butter over the dry cake mix. Try to cover the cake mix as much as you can to help it turn golden and delicious while cooking.
6. Pour the Water:
Now, pour the cup of water gently over the entire mixture in the crockpot. Do not stir it! The water will help steam the cobbler as it cooks, making it nice and fluffy.
7. Cook the Cobbler:
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. The cobbler is ready when the fruit is bubbly and the cake mix has cooked through. You may start to smell its yummy aroma filling your kitchen!
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, carefully remove the lid and let the cobbler cool for just a moment. Serve it warm, and if you’d like a special treat, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your sweet and fruity cobbler creation!
Can I Use Frozen Peaches or Blueberries?
Absolutely! If you’re using frozen fruit, there’s no need to thaw them first. Just toss them in straight from the freezer—you may want to add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time to ensure they heat through properly.
What Can I Substitute for Yellow Cake Mix?
If you prefer a healthier option, a gluten-free cake mix works well as a substitute. You can also make a homemade cake mix using flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt if you have those ingredients on hand. Just keep the ratios similar to what the box would provide!
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, you can use the microwave or warm it in the oven at a low temperature to maintain its texture.
Can I Make This Cobbler in Advance?
Yes! You can prepare the fruit mixture and layer it with the cake mix and butter, then cover and refrigerate it. Cook it directly in the crockpot when you’re ready, just note that it might take a little longer to cook if it’s cold. Enjoy your cobbler fresh without too much prep hassle!
