Ever wondered if you could make a peach cobbler in Instant Pot instead of turning on your oven?? We’ve got the instructions for you here! An easy fruit dump cake made in under 20 minutes and ready to enjoy any time of year. One of our favorite sweet Instant Pot recipes my teens make all the time.
One day we threw things together to make Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix. When we started “baking” this way I knew there had to be a way to do the same thing on a smaller scale so here we are.
We made this dump peach cobbler quite a while ago also but everyone asked how they could do it in their multi cooker too. SO we are here to help!
Ninja Foodi Peach Cobbler
You can make it as an easy Ninja Foodi recipe or in your Crockpot Express too. Any brand works really. For the Foodi you will use the lid that is not attached to pressure cook the ingredients under high pressure.
Yes we love fresh fruit like we used in our air fryer peaches but you can’t always find those year round. Using canned peaches it is perfect to make during the Fall as well as the Summertime. We sure have a sweet tooth over here, can you tell?
If you’ve already bookmarked our Instant Pot dessert recipes than you probably had a clue. If you’re new to our site, welcome!! Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this peach cobbler recipe:
Ingredient Notes
You will want a box of cake mix for the dry ingredients. This makes it easy so you don’t have to add leavening agents at all, already in the box. Yellow or white cake mix is most common.
Canned peaches were used here and easiest. You will want to drain the cans so the juices aren’t entirely necessary. I mean any canned fruit would work as far as this is concerned.
Butter will melt and create a moisture needed to create a batter with the dry mix and “bake” right in the hot pot for you.
Brown sugar will sweeten this a bit more. I haven’t used a sugar-free alternative like Splenda but it should work just as well either way. And I like to add a pinch of cinnamon too with cornstarch to thicken the goo.
Is it better to use canned or frozen peaches to make cobbler?
That depends on your preference and cooking method. The difference between the two will be the texture. Frozen will hold up a bit better as they take more time to get to tender so if you want a bit of chunky when served I would use those. Otherwise canned is great.
I have actually baked this fresh peach dump cake in the oven but not in this pot. The difference with this is there is very little juice that you will get even when cooked.
Variations
I have made this a few times using different cake mixes and it’s fun to mix it up a bit. I might say white is our favorite though. You could use white, yellow or spice with this fruit. Mixed fruit cocktail could be used instead with strawberry or even a lemon version.
How Long to Cook Peach Cobbler in Instant Pot
You will need 12 minutes of time to cook but the natural release at the end is important too, that will take 5 minutes too. In total with the time to reach pressure you need to keep about 30 minutes on hand start to finish.
Cooking Tips
I REALLY encourage you to buy an Instant Pot non stick pot. Not only will it eliminate the messy clean up, but it will also help avoid the burn notice. Many times your pot will trigger a false notice and ever since I bought this ceramic pot I haven’t ever experienced that. It also makes it so that you don’t have to add any oil really when sauteeing meats.
We have shared a ton of dump cake recipes on our site over the years because I just love easy and delish. If you’re not familiar with this type of dessert, it is well shall I say messy. Don’t expect to slice it, you just scoop into a bowl and enjoy as is.
Like our popular cherry pineapple dump cake recipe, it won’t be super pretty served like a cake. Don’t worry about that!! Just follow these simple instructions:
FAQ
They really are quite similar with a few variations. Cobbler is typically is a baked fruit dessert with a thick biscuit or pie dough topping. A crumble is similar but is a baked fruit dessert with a layer of topping Really I kinda’ call them what I call them. 😉 They’re kinda’ one in the same for us, but I think cobblers are a bit sweeter and easier to throw together.
If you’re making fresh peach dump cake in the oven I actually prefer it made earlier in the day. It gives the dish a bit of time to sit and thicken/firm up. With this Instant Pot peach cobbler I would suggest serving it warm and fresh though, especially if you aren’t using a non stick pot. It will be a nightmare if you use the pot it came with because it will stick like mad as it sits.
If you’re going to eat it within a day of making it, you don’t need to refrigerate it. Just spoon it into a dish like this, cover it, and leave it at room temperature instead. Refrigerating it will dry the dish out a bit, but it is totally up to you really.
It really is best enjoyed warm, right after it’s baked. If you’re reheating put into a microwave safe dish. Heat in 30 second increments stirring in between until it is as hot as you’d like. To reheat in the oven, remove it from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until warmed through.

Other desserts with fruit you’ll love
Our peach angel food cake has been a hit with everyone who’s made it. Make Easy cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler in your oven with this same canned fruit.
This crockpot apple crisp is the perfect slow cooker dessert or breakfast. Tastes just like those baked apples from Cracker Barrel, you can make those using our Instant Pot apple crisp recipe too.
All adds I scroll and scroll and end up at a recipe using a barrel pan and trivet. If you are going to share a recipe please just do that we don’t need 70 pages of nonsense so you can have ads. The cobbler recipe I want is your first one with ZERO quantities. Extremely disappointing.
If bloggers didn’t have ads we would have to charge you a fee to access our site ,it is VERY expensive to run
I also got the burn notice…. I’m currently making it right now. Got one burn notice. Turned it off and then back on and started again. We will see if this ruins it or not, but I’m dying to eat it because it smells so good!
Ok it says to add water. Now what???
Used a non-stick pot. Got the burn notice twice in a row. Left it in anyway, and kept trying off/on. It finally did cook and go through the 10 minute cycle. It was very tasty.
