Description

Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix is a simple and delicious dessert featuring juicy canned peaches topped with a buttery, golden cake mix crust. This easy recipe requires minimal prep and combines sweet peaches with warm spices, making it ideal for quick family desserts or summer gatherings.


Ingredients

Peach Mixture

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup or juice, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Peaches: Pour the canned peaches along with their liquid evenly into the prepared baking dish, then stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without stirring to ensure a layered cobbler texture.
  4. Sprinkle Spices: Evenly sprinkle ground cinnamon, optional nutmeg, and optional brown sugar over the cake mix to add warmth and sweetness.
  5. Drizzle Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly across the entire surface, covering as much of the cake mix as possible to help it bake into a golden crust.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, ideally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • Do not mix the cake mix into the peaches; the layered approach is key to the cobbler’s classic texture.
  • Peaches packed in heavy syrup will make the cobbler sweeter than those packed in juice.
  • Fresh or frozen peaches can be substituted, but liquid quantities may need adjustment to prevent sogginess.
  • For extra texture, sprinkle chopped pecans over the cake mix before drizzling with butter.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
