Peach Cobbler in The Crock Pot!

I found this recipe on 4 Hats and Frugal today and I was intrigued.  I had all the ingredients so I threw this together.  It takes a while (3 1/2 hours) to cook, but it doesn't heat up the house and was so good.  I put it on early afternoon and it was ready by dinner time.  The sugar turns kind of "carmel-y" and tasty!  Mike thought it was too sweet and so next time I am going to cut the sugar in half. 

Slow cooker Peach Cobbler

half stick butter or margarine
4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced about 1/2 inch
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar

Turn your slow cooker to high. Some require you to turn it to low for 5 minutes and then turn to high, so look at your users manual. Place the butter in the insert and let melt(should take about half an hour).
 

While waiting for the butter to melt, peel and slice the peaches. Put 1/2 cup sugar, peaches and 1 tsp vanilla in a medium bowl. Toss to coast peaches.
 

In another bowl, place flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1 cup of sugar. Stir together.
 

Once you see the butter melted and bubbling, place the milk in the flour bowl and stir together.
Pour the milk and flour mixture into the slow cooker insert, slowly!
 

Then, pour the peaches on top of the batter, slowly!
 

Cover and let cook on high for 3 hours.
 

After 3 hours, sprinkle some sugar on top of cobbler and place a chopstick or the handle of a heat proof spatula under the lid. This will create the crusty top. Let cook for at least 30 more minutes.

Once done, top with cool whip or, my favorite, vanilla ice cream. Delicious!
