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
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without stirring to ensure a layered cobbler texture.
- Sprinkle Spices: Evenly sprinkle ground cinnamon, optional nutmeg, and optional brown sugar over the cake mix to add warmth and sweetness.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
