Introduction

This Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix is a quick and delicious dessert perfect for any occasion. Combining sweet peaches with a buttery cake topping, it’s easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

A white round bowl filled with three main layers: the bottom layer is soft, cooked peach slices in a shiny golden syrup, the middle layer is a crumbly, brown baked crust with some darker, caramelized spots, and the top layer has two scoops of smooth, white vanilla ice cream placed on the right side, melting slightly into the dessert. A silver spoon rests inside the bowl with a scoop of the crust on it. The bowl is placed on a white marbled surface with a white cloth loosely wrapped around it.

Ingredients

3 cans (15.25 ounces each) peaches in heavy syrup (1 can drained)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 box yellow cake mix

1 stick unsalted butter (melted)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 2: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the peaches (with only one can drained), cornstarch, and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3: Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the peach mixture.

Step 4: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and vanilla extract together, then pour this mixture evenly over the cake mix.
Step 5: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 7: Serve warm, topped with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little nutmeg along with cinnamon before baking.
Use fresh peaches when in season, adjusting syrup quantity accordingly.

Swap the yellow cake mix for spice cake mix to add a warm, autumnal twist.
For a crispier top, use cold butter cut into small pieces instead of melted butter.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in an oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Enjoy slightly warm for the best texture.

How to Serve

The dish shows a white bowl filled with a peach cobbler dessert. The base layer is made of soft, warm peach slices in a shiny syrupy glaze that is golden orange in color. On top of the peaches is a rough, crumbly, golden brown baked crust with some darker toasted spots, creating a crisp texture layer. Alongside the peach cobbler, there are two round, creamy scoops of white vanilla ice cream slightly melting into the warm fruit and crust. A silver spoon rests inside the bowl, and the bowl sits on a soft beige cloth, placed on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?

Yes, you can substitute with thawed and drained frozen peaches. You may want to adjust or omit the syrup since frozen peaches don’t come with sweetened juice.

Is it possible to make this peach cobbler gluten-free?

To make a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free yellow cake mix and ensure the other ingredients don’t contain gluten. The recipe works just as well with these substitutions.
