Ingredients (Serves 8–10):
For the Base:
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup (or 4 cups frozen peaches + ½ cup sugar)
For the Topping:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix , dry (or white cake for lighter flavor)
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter , melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional – adds warmth)
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional – for crunch)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Pan & Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) .
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with oil or butter—set aside.
Step 2: Dump & Drizzle Like a Pro
Pour both cans of peaches (with syrup!) into the prepared pan—no need to drain.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top—don’t stir, just layer.
Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much as possible.
Optional: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped pecans before baking for extra flair.
Step 3: Bake Until Golden & Bubbly
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes , or until the topping is golden and the filling is warm and thickened.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving—this helps the sauce set slightly.
Step 4: Serve Warm & Indulgent
Cut into squares and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream .
Each bite brings together:
- Juicy, syrupy peach base
- Crispy, buttery cake crust
- And that classic homemade cobbler charm
Tips for Success:
- Don’t Stir the Topping: The cake mix and butter create a crispy crust without mixing.
- Frozen Peach Option: Thaw and toss with sugar for best results.
- Thicker Sauce Hack: Stir 1 tbsp cornstarch into the syrup before baking if you prefer a less runny cobbler.
- Sweetness Boost: Add 1–2 tbsp honey to the peaches for extra caramelized flavor.
- Make Ahead Magic: Assemble and refrigerate overnight—bake fresh in the morning.
Serving Suggestions:
- Perfect with coffee, iced tea, or a cold glass of milk.
- Great at summer barbecues, school events, or late-night cravings.
- Ideal as a breakfast treat or late-night snack.
