Ingredients
Scale
Peach Mixture
- 3 cans (15.25 ounces each) peaches in heavy syrup (1 can drained)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Cake Topping
- 1 box yellow cake mix (typically around 15.25 ounces)
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted (1/2 cup or 113 grams)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Peach Mixture: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the peaches (with one can drained), ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients and help thicken the peach juices during baking.
- Add Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peach mixture, covering the top completely for a uniform crust.
- Butter and Vanilla Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and vanilla extract. Drizzle this butter mixture evenly over the cake mix to promote browning and add rich flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and the peach mixture is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes to set up before serving.
- Serve: Top with your choice of ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent finish, then enjoy your warm peach cobbler.
Notes
- Ensure to drain the liquid from only one can of peaches to avoid the filling becoming too watery.
- You can use fresh peaches peeled and sliced if preferred, but adjust the cornstarch to maintain the filling’s consistency.
- For a richer flavor, lightly toast the cake mix before adding the butter mixture.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
