Crock Pot Cobbler

Ramsey's Slow Cooker Cobbler

Notes: This recipe has been a staple at our house since 2002! I have tested this recipe with blackberries, blackberry/blueberry, raspberry/blackberry, and peaches. It gets the highest rating in my book - 5 STARS! I bet this would be good with apples too. Mmmmm...anything I can use the crockpot for and make something fresh and yummy is a winning recipe! Enjoy!

9/3/2014: Served this for dessert this week using 4 lonely peaches I had left in the fridge. Rave reviews from my crew! Top with butter and cream if desired and serve alongside a cold glass of milk! Ahhhh...this is heavenly dessert.
