This slow-cooked cobbler is a great use for frozen peaches and so easy to make. Add some toasted, chopped pecans for a little Southern flair.

Ingredients
- Unsalted butter, for greasing insert
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- Two 12-ounce bags frozen peaches (about 8 cups)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch fine salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- For the filling: Butter the sides and bottom of the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Whisk together the cornstarch, orange juice and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the insert, add the peaches and granulated sugar and toss.
- For the biscuit topping: Whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub the mixture together with your fingertips so that it forms a coarse meal with some pea-sized lumps. Add the milk and almond extract if using and stir with a wooden spoon to form a wet dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough on top of the peach mixture. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar with the cinnamon and ginger and sprinkle over the dough. Cover the slow cooker and set to high for 3 to 4 hours. The cobbler should be bubbly and the biscuits should be cooked through. Let rest for 20 minutes before serving.
- For the sour cream topping: Meanwhile, combine the heavy cream, sour cream and confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixture until the mixture forms medium peaks.
- Spoon the cobbler into bowls and top with the whipped sour cream topping.

Reviews
Wow, this is so good and easy. The whipped cream is great! I wouldn’t change anything
Dough was flavorless, I added the 1/2 tsp almond extract and even added additional 1/2 tsp vanilla. Not enough peaches compared to the dough, and they needed some spice too. Take this one off the keeper list.
It was good but lacked the crispy top I associate with a cobbler
I used vanilla extract instead of almond extract, and could on high for 3.5hours and it taste delicious!
Took a while to cook and I wish it made more, but it was worth the wait because it tasted very good!
Can you use fresh peaches?
