Ingredients:
6 cups sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained if canned)
½ cup vanilla vinaigrette dressing
1 box (15–16 oz) yellow cake mix (dry)
Directions:
Lightly grease a 4–6 quart slow cooker with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Add the sliced peaches to the slow cooker, spreading them evenly.
Pour the vanilla vinaigrette over the peaches and gently stir to coat. This creates a sweet-tangy syrup as it cooks.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches. Do not stir this forms the cobbler topping.
Cover the slow cooker with a clean kitchen towel, then place the lid on top to absorb excess moisture.
Cook on HIGH for 2–3 hours or LOW for 4–5 hours, until the peaches are bubbling and the topping is set.
Let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving to thicken slightly.
Serve warm on its own, or top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
Tips, Variations & Flavor Boosts:
Add 2–4 tablespoons sugar or brown sugar if peaches aren’t very sweet
Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg for classic cobbler flavor
Swap yellow cake mix with butter cake or white cake mix
For a firmer topping, crack the lid open slightly during the last 20–30 minutes
Leftovers reheat beautifully in the microwave
