Tips for Perfect Slow Cooker Peaches
-
Do not mix the layers — this helps create a cobbler-like texture.

If you prefer less sweetness, use peaches in juice instead of syrup.
-
For crispier edges, cook slightly longer with lid slightly ajar for last 20 minutes.
-
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon for extra warmth.

Use white cake mix instead of yellow.
