Best, Easy Crockpot Peach Cobbler

Last weekend, we went up to Ogden to the Farmer's Market. I love Farmer's Markets and love buying local produce. Among other things, I bought a small basket of peaches with the intent to try my hand at a peach cobbler (my favorite dessert).

I've been using my slow cooker a lot lately because they are possibly the best kitchen appliance. No heating up the oven, no slaving over dinner. Just throw it all in the slow cooker and forget about it. So I hit Pinterest and found this recipe for a slow cooker peach cobbler.

Ingredients

1 stick butter (1/2 cup)

5-6 cups fresh or frozen peach slices

1 1/2 cups *self-rising flour

1 1/2 cups water or milk

1 cup sugar

*1 1/2 cup self-rising flour = 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour + 2 teaspoons baking powder + 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. First, melt butter in slow cooker on HIGH while preparing other ingredients.
2. Whisk flour, sugar, and water (or milk) until well blended.
3. Add peach slices to melted butter.
4. Pour flour mixture over top. DO NOT STIR.
5. Cook 4-6 hours on HIGH.

I probably ate a whole peach by the time I was done nibbling. Anyways. I started it about 4:00 and planned on eating it after Layla went to bed because she's a little piggy.

But here are my thoughts. Cooking it on high, the edges burned. Bad. I had to scoop around the edges to avoid the black nasty stuff. I would suggest cooking it on low for longer. Or skipping the crockpot and trying the oven instead.

Overall, it was good. The crust was softer then I normally like but it was still very good. I highly recommend sticking to fresh peaches.

I'd been bugging Brett about eating some of it because he told me he doesn't like peach cobbler. He asked me for a bite and by bedtime, he had ate a big bowl of it. So I consider it a huge win. Especially after he said, "you're on my mom's level for desserts." That was a big pat on the back.

I've got about half of it left and can't wait to dig in again when Layla goes down for her nap. :D
