Dessert in the slow cooker? Yes! Once you’ve tried these Crock Pot Peaches, try this Salted Caramel Slow Cooker Monkey Bread.
This recipe was originally for Scalloped Apples. To be honest, I didn’t know if or how well it would work out with peaches. Peaches are much softer than apples, and I wasn’t sure they’d hold up to slow cooking. But it seemed like it would be worth the effort of trying.
The house smelled amazing as the slow cooker heated up, and scents of cinnamon and cloves wafted through the house. The apple recipe cooks the apples for 4 to 5 hours on low, but since I knew the peaches wouldn’t hold up for that long, I checked them at about an hour and a half.
I dipped my spoon into the slow cooker and took a bite of the warm, syrup-y peaches, and immediately fell in love. I know this recipe was really written for apples, but I’m telling you – this recipe was made for peaches.
The only thing that made this recipe better was the scoop of cold ice cream on top of the warm peaches. The ice cream would melt and make the peach syrup nice and creamy, and I escaped my crazy day into a moment of peaches and cream bliss. This is definitely a recipe worth trying!
Ingredients
You only need 5 simple ingredients!
Peaches: You don’t have to be too particular here – just medium peaches will work.
Sugar: Regular granulated sugar – although I’m guessing brown sugar would be great, as well!
Cinnamon and Cloves: I love this combination, but you could also use Pumpkin Pie Spice.
Butter: You’ll want to thinly slice the butter and space it evenly over the top before baking.
Tips and Tricks
You can leave the peels on the peaches, or remove them. It’s much easier to leave then on, so I go with that. If you do remove the peels, check the peaches at about an hour – they won’t hold together as well without the peels.
Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. You can eat the leftovers cold, or gently reheat them on the stove.
Instead of ice cream, you could also drizzle on some heavy cream.

I’ve made this recipe twice so far. Instead of the sugar, I use 2 tablespoons each of monk fruit sweetener and golden monk fruit sweetener. I also add about 1/4 cup of water. I serve it over Eddy’s no sugar added vanilla ice cream. My husband and I love this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
