Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix Ingredients

Sliced Peaches (1 can, 29-ounce, in heavy syrup): Creates the sweet, juicy base of the cobbler. The syrup helps form the sauce as it bakes. If using peaches in light syrup, add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of sugar.
Yellow Cake Mix (1 box, 15.25-ounce): Forms the topping and gives it a soft, slightly crisp texture. Or use spice cake mix.
Butter (¾ cup, sliced): Melts into the cake mix to create a rich, golden crust. We used unsalted butter, but salted can be used.
Cinnamon (to taste): Adds warm flavor that pairs perfectly with peaches. Or use nutmeg or allspice.
Optional nuts: Add chopped walnuts, pecans, or slivered almonds before baking, if desired.
Optional toppings: Top with Vanilla Ice Cream or Butter Pecan Ice Cream, a drizzle of Chocolate, White Chocolate, or Caramel Sauce.

Kristyn’s Recipe Tips

Spread Butter Evenly: This helps the topping bake evenly.
Don’t Stir Layers: Keeping layers separate creates the best texture.
Use Quality Peaches: Good canned peaches make a big difference. Be sure to use the entire can of peaches with the juice.
Cake Mix: Use only the dry cake mix; do not make it into a batter.
Serve Warm: This really is best served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. We also like to serve it with Bluebell’s Peaches & Cream ice cream.
