Notes
Quick Recipe Tips Before You Get Started
Important Prep Tips Before Starting the Recipe:- If you are using fresh peaches, peel and slice them before you start anything else. Be sure to put them in the apple juice as you work to avoid browning.
- Canned or frozen peaches work too. Just drain canned peaches well and thaw frozen ones before using.
- You will need a six quart slow cooker for this recipe. If you are serving a big group, you can double the recipe in a larger crock pot.
- Do not stir the cake mix into the peaches. The butter needs to melt over the dry mix to create that crisp, cobbler topping.
- To avoid a doughy or gummy topping, turn the lid on the slow cooker slightly so the steam can vent the last hour of cooking.
- If your topping has some dry areas, add a few pats of butter on top of these areas the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
