Fresh peaches are tossed with sugars and cinnamon with a stitch of thickener to bring together a delicious sauce on the peaches then topped off with a buttery cake mix! Easy Instant Pot Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix to the rescue!

I grew up camping with my family and my absolute best memories revolve around those camping trips. It was heaven on Earth. I still feel that way. There’s something about the mountains that just beckons for me to walk the trails and smell the smells.

There’s a peace in the mountains that isn’t present in your backyard.

Even the damp ground as you scuffle around setting up your tent smells good to me.

I’m serious, it’s the best.

And there has to be at least one night of dutch oven cobbler.

If you are at home, yearning for simple days and comfort food, but can’t get away to the mountains you can still make an easy instant pot peach cobbler with cake mix.

Peach Cobbler

Peach cobbler is one of those recipes I don’t think about too much. Our family loves cookies and brownies so much and peaches are only ripe in Utah for a very short amount of time, so chocolate rules the dessert scene.

Peach cobbler is such a simple recipe to make and I started to get the itch to make it as peach stands started to pop up everywhere.

That juicy globe is far too beautiful to not be turned into peach cobbler.

Canning Peaches

Canning peaches is what I did every summer with my mom.

In fact, I’ve been thinking that I should totally do a how to can peaches post.  If you have a second, tap “comment” and let us know if that’s a post you’d be interested in.

Anyway, I’d sit on a stool and Mom would pull the hot peaches from the pot and us kids would peel and slice them in half then shove them down into Mason jars.

Isn’t it funny how you hate something as a kid and miss it as an adult?

I NEVER hated eating those peaches though. A busy Saturday often ended with slices of buttered toast and bowls of home canned peaches. It was heaven.

What Is An Instant Pot?

An instant pot is an electric pressure cooker. You can tap the link to see the one we have and love.

We’ve been getting a lot of emails asking what an Instant Pot is and while I’m always a little shocked that people are still wondering I can totally understand not knowing.

I mean, we are all just trying to make it through life, so hey if you’ve been too busy to know, we forgive you.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!

Your instant pot can also saute, make yogurt, work as a slow cooker and so much more!

Are Instant Pots Safe To Use?

There have been a few people injured by placing their face over the steam valve when releasing the pressure but other than that, yes it’s safe to use.

In fact, you should use it to make this instant pot peach cobbler.

What Is The Difference Between Cobbler and Crisp?

Cobblers and crisps are not the same thing.

I always get so excited when people ask me what the difference between cobbler and crisp is. OH!! Let me tell you!!!

COBBLER

A deep-dish baked fruit dessert with a thick dropped-biscuit or pie dough topping is considered to be a cobbler. This is why there’s a cake mix cobbler that many people make.

CRUMBLE

Before I tell you what a crisp is we should mention what a crumble is. An apple crumble for example is actually a British dessert with a crisp streusel crust.

CRISP

Finally, a crisp is again a fruit base but the topping combines a little of everything, the butter, the flour and sugar, but last it adds oats into the mix. It’s almost like a crisp oatmeal cookie on top.

What are the Best Peaches for Baking?

You want to find freestone peaches because they are sweeter and easier to work with. For a list of my favorite freestone peaches, head to our peach cobbler post!

Eat The Fuzzy Skin Of the Peach?

You can eat the fuzzy skin off of the peach, but it does bother some people. When baking it’s often best to peel the peach as the skins can fall off of the fruit and just be alone.

To peel a peach, just make an X at the bottom of the peach and use a paring knife to gently pinch the skin with your thumb and knife and pull the skin off.

Does Peach Cobbler Need To Be Refrigerated?

Peach cobbler should be refrigerated for storage. It’s a fruit dessert so not only will you avoid fruit flies but it will help to preserve the dessert a little longer.

Merely wrap the cobbler dish in plastic wrap to store as removing to a storage container can mix the topping into the fruit so it will break down faster.

It’s a dangerous thing to know how to make peach cobbler even quicker and more easily! That’s what we are teaching you here with instant pot peach cobbler…ready to eat in less than 40 minutes!
