Ingredients To Grab

There’s no need to buy out the baking aisle at the grocery store when you’re preparing to make this tasty cobbler with canned peaches! Make sure you have these ingredients in your pantry before you get started:

• Yellow Cake Mix- Grab your favorite brand of boxed cake mix. I use the store brand to keep this an inexpensive treat.
• Canned Peaches- Canned sliced peaches in juice keep this recipe quick without sacrificing flavor.
• Butter- Contrary to many other baking dishes, I use salted butter for this dish to avoid adding another ingredient (salt) to the list.
• Brown Sugar- Compliments the natural sweetness of the canned peaches and helps the top of the cobbler caramelize while baking.
• Nutmeg- Has a slightly sweet, nutty, and spicy flavor that pairs well with peaches.
• Cinnamon- Enhances the overall taste, making the cobbler more aromatic and flavorful.
• Cornstarch– Helps thicken the peach cobbler filling.

How To Make Peach Cobbler With Cake Mix

Prepare the peaches. Open all three cans of peaches. Pour two full cans of peaches into a baking dish along with only the peaches from the third can. Use a knife to coarsely chop the peach slices into bite-sized pieces.

Mix in the spices. Mix the cornstarch, nutmeg, and ground cinnamon into the baking dish full of chopped peaches.

Cover with cake mix. Evenly spread the dry cake mix over the top of the seasoned peaches.

Sprinkle on the brown sugar. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the dry cake mix.

Top with butter. Slice the stick of butter into 25 pieces. It doesn’t have to be exact, just enough butter to evenly distribute over the top of the cobbler.

Bake and enjoy! Place the prepared peach cobbler into an oven preheated to 325F and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cake mix crust is baked through. Serve and enjoy!

Tips And Tricks

Want to make sure your Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix turns out perfectly every time? Read over these tips and tricks before you get started:

• Spread evenly. Ensure the cake mix is spread evenly over the peaches. It’s easier to pile it a little thicker in the middle than on the edges, but if you do this, it will prevent the cake mix from cooking through in the time listed in the recipe.
• Chop the peaches. While this step isn’t necessary, it makes it easier to serve and eat. Chopped peaches allow for a better fruit-to-crust ratio.
• Adjust cooking time. Depending on your oven, the baking time can vary slightly. I’ve found that the sweet spot is somewhere between 45 and 50 minutes. Check the center of the cobbler when you pull it out of the oven. If it still has a little wiggle to it, place it back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until it is set.

Variations

It’s hard not to love peach cobbler, but sometimes you’re just craving a different combination of flavors. If you want to adjust this recipe to put your own spin on it, try some of these variations:

• Use other fruit. Use any canned fruit or pie filling in place of the canned peaches to switch up the flavor.
• Swap out the cake flavor. Don’t have yellow cake in your pantry? Try using a spice cake, chocolate cake, or white cake instead of a yellow boxed cake.
• Adjust the spices. Not everyone is a fan of cinnamon or nutmeg. Adjust or omit these to taste. You can even use pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice if you have some leftover from the holidays!
