Fresh peaches are synonymous with Southern cooking, from jams and jelly to homemade peach pie topped with peach ice cream. This slow cooker dessert recipe combines all of the elements that make a traditional upside-down cake so irresistible—a rich, buttery cake layer and a gooey, sugary topping. Instead of the usual pineapple, I’ve substituted fresh peaches, and instead of nuts, I’ve crumbled tangy gingersnap cookies.
