Common Questions About Crockpot Cobbler With Cake Mix
Can I use fresh peaches or apples instead of frozen berries?
Absolutely! Fresh apples or fresh peaches make for a delicious change of pace. Just remember to adjust the cook time as fresh fruit might release more juice. You don’t want to open the slow cooker and find soup haha!
How do I ensure an even layer of cake on top?
By sprinkling the dry cake mix over the fruits and placing the pats of butter meticulously on top, you’re set for an even, golden brown crust.
I’ve heard of a cherry dump cake, is this similar?
Yes! A cherry dump cake is just one of the many variants of the cobbler. Instead of mixed berries, you’d use cherry pie filling and follow similar steps.
Storage
Just a little side note, I never plan to store this. It gets devoured faster than I can get it out of the crockpot!
Refrigerator
Your cobbler can be stored in an airtight container and will remain lip-smacking good for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer
If you have leftovers, just pack them securely in a container and they can be frozen for a month. Reheat before serving.
