Description

This Crockpot Blueberry Peach Cobbler is full of juicy blueberries and peaches with a golden, buttery topping. It’s an easy slow cooker dessert that tastes like summer comfort in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the fruit:
  • 5 cups fresh or frozen peaches, peeled and sliced if fresh
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the cobbler dough:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or white whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine peaches, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir gently and set aside.

2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles small crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined.

3. Spray the bottom of the slow cooker with nonstick spray. Crumble the dough evenly over the bottom.

4. Stir the fruit again to combine, then spread evenly over the dough, leaving excess juices behind.

5. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or LOW for 4 to 5 hours until filling is bubbly and the topping is cooked through.

6. Turn off heat and let cobbler rest for 20–30 minutes to thicken.

7. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If using frozen fruit, do not thaw before cooking. Plan for a slightly longer cook time.

For a crispier topping, prop the lid open slightly during the last 30 minutes to let steam escape.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.

This recipe can be baked in the oven at 375°F for 35–40 minutes in a 9×9-inch dish.

Ingredient Tips and Helpful Substitutions

IngredientPro Tip
PeachesUse ripe, juicy peaches for the sweetest flavor. If frozen, don’t thaw before cooking.
BlueberriesFresh or frozen both work; wild blueberries add extra flavor.
CornstarchThickens the fruit juices into a luscious filling.
ButterKeep it cold; small cubes help form a flaky cobbler texture.
ButtermilkAdds a subtle tang; substitute with milk and a splash of lemon juice if needed.
CinnamonEnhances the sweetness of the fruit and adds warmth.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, combine peaches, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the fruit is coated and set aside.
  2. Make the Cobbler Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter using your fingertips or a pastry blender until the texture resembles small peas. Add buttermilk and mix with a fork just until combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Assemble in the Slow Cooker: Lightly spray the bottom of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Crumble the cobbler dough evenly over the bottom. Stir the fruit mixture again to ensure even coating, then spoon it gently over the dough layer (leave excess juices in the bowl to prevent sogginess).
  4. Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover with the lid and cook on HIGH for 2½–3 hours or on LOW for 4–5 hours until the filling is bubbly and the dough is cooked through.
  5. Cool Slightly: Turn off the slow cooker and let the cobbler rest for 20–30 minutes to thicken.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Spoon into bowls while warm and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for the Perfect Slow Cooker Dessert

  • No Thaw Needed: Frozen fruit goes straight into the crockpot — just plan for a slightly longer cooking time.
  • Use the Right Size Crockpot: A 6-quart slow cooker works best for even cooking and browning.
  • Keep the Lid Closed: Avoid lifting the lid too often; heat loss will affect cooking time.
  • Rest Before Serving: Allowing it to sit thickens the filling and makes it easier to scoop.

Flavor Variations to Try

  • Mixed Berry Cobbler: Swap peaches for raspberries or blackberries for a deeper berry flavor.
  • Apple Cinnamon Version: Use sliced apples, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg for a fall twist.
  • Tropical Peach Cobbler: Add pineapple chunks or coconut flakes for island flair.
  • Spiced Holiday Cobbler: Add nutmeg, cloves, or cardamom for cozy holiday notes.

Delicious Ways to Serve It

Serve warm in dessert bowls topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, or a touch of whipped cream. For brunch, enjoy it with a dollop of Greek yogurt or cream cheese frosting. This cobbler also pairs perfectly with your favorite warm drinks like cinnamon coffee or chai tea.

Make Ahead and Storage Tips

This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be prepared ahead. Store cooled cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the microwave for 30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. The topping will re-crisp slightly when reheated in the oven.

Kitchen Wisdom for Cobblers

  • Butter Matters: Cold butter makes for a flakier cobbler topping.
  • Adjust Sugar: If your fruit is very sweet, reduce sugar slightly.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir just until dough comes together for a tender bite.
  • Cool Before Serving: A short rest helps the juices thicken for perfect texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use canned peaches? Yes, but drain them well before mixing to avoid too much liquid.
2. Can I use frozen fruit? Absolutely, no need to thaw — just cook a little longer.
3. Can I double this recipe? Yes, but make sure your slow cooker can handle the extra volume. Add 30–45 minutes of cooking time.
4. Can I use different fruits? Any combination of berries, cherries, or apples will work beautifully.
5. How do I make it vegan? Substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter and use almond milk with lemon juice instead of buttermilk.
6. Why is my cobbler soggy? It may have too much liquid from thawed fruit or excess juices; leave some behind when layering.
7. Can I bake this in the oven instead? Yes, bake in a greased 9×9-inch dish at 375°F for about 35–40 minutes until golden and bubbly.
