Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup or juice
Cake Mix Topping
- 1 box yellow cake mix (standard size, about 15.25 oz)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark), for sprinkling
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare the peaches: Drain the canned peaches slightly if desired, then pour them into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Add cinnamon: Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches to enhance their natural flavor.
- Top with cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the cinnamon-covered peaches, covering the fruit completely.
- Add nuts (optional): If using, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the cake mix layer for added texture and flavor.
- Drizzle butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix and nuts to help it bake into a golden crust.
- Sprinkle brown sugar: Lightly sprinkle brown sugar on top to encourage caramelization and deepen the dessert’s color and sweetness.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.
Notes
- You can slightly drain the canned peaches if you prefer less syrup, but some juice helps keep the cobbler moist.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon based on your taste preference.
- Substitute the yellow cake mix with white cake mix or spice cake mix to vary the flavor.
- For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or walnuts.
- Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
