Four pantry staples, five minutes of prep, and one slow cooker: that is all it takes to make a warm, gooey peach cobbler that feeds up to eight people for less than $6. The recipe relies on canned peaches poured — syrup and all — directly over dry cake mix, finished with melted butter and a dusting of cinnamon.
En bref
- —Only 4 ingredients, feeds 6–8 for under $6
- —5 minutes prep — slow cooker does the rest
- —Do not drain the peaches: syrup is essential
Four ingredients, one pot, zero fuss
The full ingredient list is short by any standard: two 15 oz cans of sliced peaches in syrup, one 15.25 oz box of yellow or butter cake mix, half a cup of unsalted melted butter, and one teaspoon of ground cinnamon. That last item is listed as optional, though strongly recommended for added warmth.
