Ingredients
– 1 box of yellow cake mix (or vanilla cake mix)
– 2 cans of sliced peaches in syrup (about 15 oz each), or 4 cups of fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
– 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
– 1/2 cup water (optional, for adjusting consistency)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Prepare the Peaches:
If you’re using canned peaches, drain them, but keep some of the syrup. If you’re using fresh peaches, place them in the dish and lightly toss with a tablespoon of sugar. If desired, sprinkle the peaches with cinnamon and vanilla extract for added flavor.
3. Add Cake Mix:
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Do not mix; just spread the cake mix on top of the peaches.
4. Pour the Butter:
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Try to cover as much of the cake mix as possible with the butter.
5. Bake:
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. If you notice the top getting too brown before the peaches are bubbling, cover the cobbler with foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
6. Serve:
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s perfect on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Tips:
– For a crispier topping, add a handful of chopped nuts, like pecans or almonds, on top of the cake mix before adding the butter.
– If you prefer a thicker filling, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the peaches before adding the cake mix.
– Experiment with different fruit variations—blueberries, apples, or cherries can all work wonderfully in this recipe!
