🍑 Simple Ingredients for a Healthier Cobbler
Making a delicious dessert doesn’t have to break your point budget. By swapping out heavy butter for unsweetened applesauce, we keep the moisture without the added fat. Here is what you will need to get started with this slow cooker favorite:
- 3 cups sliced peaches: Use fresh peaches when in season, or canned peaches in juice (avoid heavy syrup).
- 1 cup sugar-free cake mix: You can also use regular yellow cake mix, just adjust your points accordingly.
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce: This is our secret weapon to replace the butter.
- 2–3 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener: This is optional, depending on how sweet your peaches already are.
🍲 Step-by-Step Slow Cooker Instructions
The beauty of this recipe is the “set it and forget it” method. Because we aren’t stirring the ingredients, the cake mix creates a lovely cobbler crust right on top of the fruit. Follow these simple steps for the best results:
- Spray your slow cooker lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add the sliced peaches evenly across the bottom of the pot.
- Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the peaches. Important: Do not stir! Leaving it on top creates the crust.
- Spoon the unsweetened applesauce carefully over the dry cake mix.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2–2.5 hours or on LOW for 3–4 hours.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the topping to set.
