I get invited to a lot of potluck dinners, and my favorite potluck dish to bring is cobbler! Well, for a long time, it was microwave broccoli. Now, it is a cobbler because it is so easy. This cobbler can be made with any fruit you like, but my favorites are definitely blueberry cobbler and apple cobbler.
My cobbler recipe can be prepared in two ways: baked in the oven or in the slow cooker.
In case the instructions below are a little confusing, here is the breakdown of how to cook the cobbler in the oven and slow cooker:
- Cobbler Baked in the Oven: Put in an 8×4 pan like the on pictured to the right. Spread the filling, then the cake mix, then put the butter on top. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Cobbler Baked in the Crock Pot: Spread the filling in the base of the crock pot, then layer the cake mix and butter the same way you would in the pan. Set it on a low setting and let it cook for 4 hours.
It is much easier to move in a crockpot if you are heading out to a potluck dinner.
I highly recommend serving the cobbler with vanilla ice cream!

This is a fruit cobbler that you can swap in any flavor of fruit that you like!
Ingredients
Method
- In an 8 x 4 pan, spray the sides with a nonstick spray. Empty the can of fruit pie filling into the bottom of the pan and spread evenly.
- Take half of a box of vanilla or yellow cake mix (whichever you chose) and spread it across the top evenly.
- Take the butter, cut it in half and take the small pieces and spread evenly around the top of the cake mix.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes (check as it bakes to make sure the butter is melting/covering evenly.
- *Slow Cooker* If you are making it in a slow cooker, follow the same instructions but put it into the slow cooker. Set it to low and bake for 4 hours. Do not stir while it is cooking.
