Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crock Pot
Begin by lightly greasing the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray to prevent the cobbler from sticking.
Step 2: Add the Peaches
Pour the canned peaches along with their syrup into the bottom of the prepared crock pot, spreading them evenly.
Step 3: Sprinkle the Cake Mix
Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the peaches in the crock pot, ensuring complete coverage.
Step 4: Add the Butter
Cut the butter into thin slices and distribute them evenly over the top of the cake mix.
Step 5: Cook the Cobbler
Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, or on low for 4 to 6 hours, until the edges are bubbly and the cake mix is cooked through.
Step 6: Serve
Once finished cooking, turn off the crock pot and let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your peach cobbler warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream.

Note 1: Adjusting Cooking Times
Cooking times may vary based on the specific model of your crock pot; check for doneness after the minimum time suggested.

Note 3: Using Fresh Peaches
