My husband served a two year mission for our church in the Dominican Republic when he was 19 years old. While he was there, his dad passed away unexpectedly. I met my husband right after he got home from his mission, so I never got to meet my sweet father-in-law. My husband always talks about how his dad was such a fabulous cook. He remembers trips to the lake and his dad would be out slaving over the fire making delicious meals for everyone. From what I’ve been told, my father-in-law was amazing at cooking anything in a dutch oven. One of my husband’s favorite desserts was his Dad’s dutch oven peach cobbler. Since I don’t know a thing about using a dutch oven, I went the easy route with this version of peach cobbler. It only takes a few minutes to throw together and tastes great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Tub butter would work just fine. Hope you like it!
Drain the liquid off te peaches into a bowl, mix a few tablespoons of flour and a tsp or two of cinnamon into the juice before pouring over the peaches. Then dump your dry cake mix and top with butter. It gives the bottom layer that creamy, tangy peach cobbler texture.
An equally awesome twist on this is 2 cans of strawberry pie filling with a chocolate cake mix! We call it chocolate covered strawberry cobbler.

I actually just used a baking dish and baked it in the oven. Just follow the directions and it will walk you through it. Thanks!
I think you could definitely do this in a crockpot! Let us know how it goes!
I have never tried it with fresh peaches so I am not positive how it would turn out. My only concern is that it would be too dry because you pour in the whole can of peaches AND the juice. If you used fresh peaches, I would add some sort of liquid so it wouldn't come out dry and crumbly. Sorry I am not much help!
Just wondering if you used the fresh peaches and how it turn out. I'm thinking of adding sugar to my sliced peaches to get the liquid needed. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thank you
I will say that the Six sister's recipe is as close as any I've ever come across to what she made! ;o)
One question...do the leftovers need to be refrigerated?
