Ingredients and Kitchen Supplies

Here’s what you need for peach cobbler with cake mix:

• Peaches – In the summer when you can get them fresh, we use about 8 to 10. In the winter or times when you can get good fresh peaches, you can use about 2 cans worth of peaches, just make sure to drain them.
• Brown Sugar – This helps give the cobbler a thicker consistency and sweeter taste. It also helps the cake mix to brown nicely.
• Vanilla – This adds a nice background flavor to the peach cobbler.
• Cinnamon – This is optional but it does add a bit of extra cozy flavor.
• Corn Starch – The corn starch helps to thicken the filling of the cobbler.
• Yellow Cake Mix – You can use your favorite brand.
• Butter – This helps to give some richness and flavor to the cake mix topping.

You don’t need any special equipment for this. You will just want to have:

• 9×13 baking dish

How to Make Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix

1. Prepare the peaches.

Cut fresh peaches into slices or chunks.

If you are using fresh, you can peel the peaches first or leave the skins on.

Toss the peaches with brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and corn starch.

Spread the peach mixture into a 9×13 casserole dish, sprayed with nonstick spray.

2. Prepare the cake mix.

In a medium bowl, mix the cake mix with remaining brown sugar and melted butter until it forms clumps that look like wet sand.

Spread the prepared cake mix over the top of the peaches, covering as much as possible.

3. Bake the peach cobbler.

Bake the peach cobbler with cake mix on top for 1 hour.

At the end, it should have an even golden brown topping and be bubbling.

Serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or drizzle of caramel sauce.

Serving

Peach cobbler with cake batter plays really nicely with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.

You might also like adding some caramel over top.

It is best when warm, so serve after about 15 minutes of resting or more.

If serving left overs, reheat for a few seconds in the microwave for a fresh from the oven cobbler taste.

Storing

To store, cover a cooled peach cobbler with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

It should stay fresh for about 4 to 5 days in the fridge.

You may notice the topping becomes a bit less crisp the longer it sits.

Reheat in the microwave or oven to give it a fresh from the oven taste.

Tips and Tricks

• Cinnamon is optional, but cinnamon and peaches go very well together and give you that cozy vibe.
• You can use your favorite yellow cake mix. White cake and spice cake mix would also work really well.
• Reheat in the microwave or a warm oven when serving left overs.
• Make sure to let the cobbler rest at least 15 minutes after baking. This allows the peaches and sauce to set a bit and not be too watery. The longer it cools, the thicker the inside will get.
• If you like cobblers and crumbles, be sure to try our blueberry crumble and Strawberry Crumble for some easy ways to use summer fruits and berries.
