Easy Cobbler Recipe Ingredients
- Yellow cake mix. One box of dry cake mix is all you need for this dessert.
- Canned peaches. I used canned peaches in light syrup or their own juice. Avoid the heavy syrup as that will bake into a very sweet dessert that might overpower the rest of the ingredients.
- Unsalted butter. One stick of cold butter. It's important that the butter is cold so you can slice the stick into small pieces.
What Type of Peaches To Use
For this recipe, we are using canned peaches in light syrup or in their own juice. Heavy syrup will be too heavy for this dessert.
If it is peach season and you have lots of juicy peaches on hand, feel free to use those! Peel the ripe peaches, slice them, and place them in a saucepan with 1 cup of water and ½ cup of sugar. Cook the fresh peaches down for 15 minutes until they soften and the water and sugar turn into a syrup. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before using in place of the cans of peaches.
Recommended Equipment
How to Make Peach Cobbler With Cake Mix
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray or spread melted butter on the bottom of the pan to make sure the peaches do not stick.
- Open the cans of peaches and dump the peaches into the baking pan. Do not drain the peach juice. You want all the peaches and their juices in the pan.
- Open the dry cake mix and sprinkle the whole bag over the top of the peaches.
- Cut the stick of butter into 20 slices. Place the slices of butter evenly over the top of the cake mix. As the butter bakes, it creates the cobbler topping over the peaches. Do not stir!
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until all the cake mix is bubbly and golden brown. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly and serve.
Tips For Making Easy Peach Cobbler With Canned Peaches
- The cobbler is done when the peach mixture and the cake mix have combined to create a bubbly, browned crust.
- If you do not have a large enough baking dish, you can also make this easy dessert in a Dutch oven.
- To add a crunch, add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or chopped pecans to the baking dish when you add the peaches.
- Make mini cobblers! Use small crocks and separate the ingredients between 6 different crocks. Place the crocks on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until they are golden brown.
How to Serve This Easy Cobbler Recipe
- This peach cobbler can be served bubbly hot or at room temperature.
- Scoop the peach cobbler right out of the pan and onto a plate.
- This is best served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the cobbler.
- A little whipped cream never hurt anyone either!
How to Store Cake Mix Peach Cobbler
Place any leftover peach cobbler into an airtight container. Store leftovers in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them. Reheat the leftovers in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute and serve with a scoop of ice cream.
