You will need a few simple ingredients to make a peach cobbler in a crock pot. Start by gathering 4 cups of sliced peaches, which should be ripe and juicy. This will ensure a burst of natural sweetness in your cobbler. Additionally, you will need 1 cup of granulated sugar, which will enhance the flavor of the peaches and balance their tartness.

To add a touch of acidity and brightness to the cobbler, include 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. This ingredient will complement the peaches and prevent them from turning brown while they cook.

Now, let's move on to the dough. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. These dry ingredients will provide structure and texture to the cobbler topping.

To combine the dough, add 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir the batter until it becomes smooth and free of lumps.

After preparing the peach filling and dough, it's time to assemble the cobbler. First, place the sliced peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in the crock pot. To ensure even cooking, make sure the peaches are evenly spread out.

Next, pour the batter over the peaches in the crock pot. The batter should cover the peaches evenly, but don't worry if it doesn't spread completely – it will spread during the cooking process.

Now, it's time to cook the cobbler. Cover the crock pot and turn the heat to low. Allow the cobbler to cook for about 4-5 hours. This slow-cooking method will allow the flavors of the peaches to meld together while the topping becomes golden brown.

While the cobbler cooks, resisting the temptation to lift the lid is important. Opening the crock pot will release heat and extend the cooking time, so it's best to be patient and let the magic happen.

Once the cobbler is cooked and the topping is a beautiful golden brown, remove the lid and let it cool slightly. The incredible aroma of peaches and buttery crust will fill your kitchen, enticing everyone's taste buds.

Serve the peach cobbler warm, either on its own or with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast between the warm, gooey filling and the cold, creamy ice cream is divine.

Enjoy the satisfaction of serving a delicious homemade peach cobbler made effortlessly in your crock pot. The combination of sweet, ripe peaches and tender crust will surely delight your family and guests.
