Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peaches add the best flavor, but if they aren’t in season, frozen peaches work well too. You can replace them with nectarines for a similar taste!
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are delightful, but frozen will also do just fine. If you don’t have blueberries, try raspberries or blackberries as substitutes.
Granulated Sugar: Regular sugar is a must for sweetness, but you could use coconut sugar or a sugar substitute if you’re looking for something lower-calorie.
Oats: Rolled oats give a nice texture, but you can swap in quick oats if that’s what you have on hand. Just note that quick oats may become softer.
Butter: Unsalted butter is preferred, but you can use coconut oil or margarine for a dairy-free option. Just make sure it’s melted for the best mixing.
How Do I Get a Perfectly Golden Cobbler Topping?
The topping is key for a delicious cobbler. You want a nice, crumbly texture that bakes to a golden finish. Here’s how to ensure it turns out well:
- Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to distribute the baking powder and baking soda evenly.
- When stirring in the melted butter, do it gently until just combined. Overmixing can make it tough.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit without pressing it down too hard – this allows it to cook nicely and stay light.
Let the crockpot do the work! Keep the lid closed during cooking to trap the steam that helps the topping cook through and get that lovely golden color.

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful cobbler requires about 15 minutes for prep and then a cooking time of 4-5 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high in the crockpot. Total time is roughly 4-5 hours, depending on your choice of cooking speed. A wonderful treat that’s easy to whip up!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Fruit Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches and blueberries. Add in the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon, and toss everything together gently. Make sure the fruit is evenly coated with the sugar mixture. Once done, pour this fruity mix into the bottom of your crockpot.
2. Make the Crumb Topping:
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to combine all the dry ingredients. Then, pour the melted butter over the mixed dry ingredients and stir until everything is just combined. The mixture should look crumbly—this will be your topping!
3. Assemble and Cook:
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the crockpot. Cover the crockpot with its lid, and set it to cook on low for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the fruit is bubbly and the topping is a lovely golden color.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Once your cobbler is cooked, scoop out servings while it’s warm, and don’t forget to add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It’s the perfect finishing touch! Enjoy your delicious crockpot blueberry peach cobbler!
Can I Use Frozen Peaches and Blueberries?
Absolutely! Frozen fruit works great in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw them slightly before mixing with sugar and lemon juice. You can leave them at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave them for a short burst—just don’t cook them through!
What If I Don’t Have Rolled Oats?
No worries! Quick oats can be used as a substitute if you have them on hand. If you need to avoid oats altogether, you can replace the oats with an equal amount of additional flour; however, it might slightly change the texture of the topping.
How to Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in the microwave or in the crockpot on low until heated through. You can add a bit of water or butter if it seems a little dry after reheating.
Can I Make This Cobbler Gluten-Free?
Yes! To make this cobbler gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Also, ensure your oats are labeled gluten-free. The taste and texture will still be delicious!
