This Crockpot Blueberry Peach Cobbler is a sweet treat that cooks while you relax! Juicy peaches and plump blueberries come together, all topped with a delightful biscuit-like crust.
It’s like a dessert hug in a bowl! I love serving it warm with a scoop of ice cream on top. Trust me, you’ll want seconds (or thirds)! 🍑🫐
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peaches are fantastic, but frozen ones work just as well if you’re short on fresh fruit. I love using ripe peaches for that juicy flavor, but you can also try nectarines for a similar texture.
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries really pop, but frozen blueberries are a great option too—no need to thaw beforehand! If blueberries aren’t your thing, feel free to substitute with raspberries or blackberries.
Sugars: Granulated sugar balances the sweetness of the fruit, while brown sugar adds a rich caramel note. If you’re looking for healthier options, consider using coconut sugar or reducing the overall sugar amount slightly.
Oats: Rolled oats give nice texture to the topping. If you’re gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats or replace them with shredded coconut for a different twist.
Butter: Unsalted butter helps control the salt levels in the dish. If you’re dairy-free, you can swap with coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative. Just make sure it’s melted!
How Can You Achieve the Perfect Cobbler Topping?
The topping for the cobbler is key to a delicious dessert. It’s all about achieving that crumbly texture that crisps nicely while baking. Here’s how to get it just right:
- Mix dry ingredients first: Combine flour, brown sugar, oats, baking powder, and salt in one bowl.
- Add melted butter gradually: Pour the butter into the dry mixture and stir just until it resembles coarse crumbs. Don’t overmix.
- Sprinkle evenly: Make sure to cover the fruit mixture uniformly for even cooking—this ensures all parts of the cobbler are golden and delicious!

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious cobbler takes about 15 minutes of prep time and then cooks in your crockpot for 4 to 6 hours on low or 2 to 3 hours on high. After all that, you’ll have a warm, comforting dessert perfect for serving with ice cream!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Make the Fruit Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together gently until the fruits are evenly coated in the sugary goodness. Once mixed, pour this fruity mixture into the bottom of your crockpot.
2. Prepare the Cobbler Topping:
In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. This will create the dry mixture for your topping. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly. You want it to look like wet sand—this will give your cobbler a nice topping.
3. Assemble and Cook:
Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the crockpot. Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the fruit is bubbling and the topping turns a lovely golden brown.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, uncover your delicious cobbler and let it cool slightly for a few minutes. Serve it warm, and don’t forget to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Enjoy the delightful mix of flavors and textures in every bite!
Can I Use Frozen Fruits Instead of Fresh?
Absolutely! Frozen fruits work great in this recipe, and you don’t need to thaw them first. Just toss them directly into the crockpot. However, you might want to reduce the cooking time slightly, as frozen fruits will release more moisture and can cook faster!
Can I Substitute the Oats?
Yes! If you’re not a fan of oats, you can substitute them with an equal amount of crushed graham crackers or leave them out entirely for a more traditional cobbler topping. Just be aware that this might slightly change the texture of the crumble.
How to Store Leftovers
Leftover cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave a portion for 30-60 seconds until warmed through. If you want to restore some crispness to the topping, pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
Can I Add Other Fruits?
Definitely! Feel free to mix in other fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, or even apples. Just keep the total fruit quantity around 6 cups to maintain the right balance and consistency. Enjoy experimenting!
