This easy peach cobbler uses a box of yellow cake mix and canned peaches for a quick, buttery dessert. The secret is dotting cold butter over the dry cake mix to create a golden, flaky crust as it bakes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) sliced peaches in heavy syrup, undrained
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Pour both cans of peaches with their syrup into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Do not drain.
  3. Evenly sprinkle the entire box of dry cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir.
  4. If using cinnamon and nutmeg, sprinkle them evenly over the cake mix.
  5. Scatter the cold butter cubes evenly over the top of the cake mix. Do not stir.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For fresh peaches, peel and slice about 4 cups of ripe peaches, toss with 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. For a less sweet version, use peaches packed in juice and a sugar-free cake mix. Do not stir the cake mix into the peaches; it must stay on top for a flaky crust.
