Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cans (15.25 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Topping
- 1 package (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) cold butter
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cobbler.
- Combine peaches: Pour two cans of peaches including their juice into the pan. For the third can, drain the syrup and add only the peaches to avoid excess liquid, which can make the cobbler soggy.
- Add cinnamon: Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the peach mixture to enhance the fruity flavor with warm, spicy notes.
- Layer cake mix: Evenly spread the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches, covering the fruit completely to create a thick, crumbly topping.
- Add sugar and butter: Sprinkle brown sugar evenly on top of the cake mix. Then slice the cold butter into small pieces and distribute these across the surface to create a rich, golden crust as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, indicating the peaches are heated through and the cake topping is cooked.
Notes
- Using cold butter helps create a flakier and more textured topping.
- Draining the syrup from one can of peaches prevents the dish from becoming too watery.
- You can serve this peach cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
