Equipment
- 9x13 Baking dish Can use a 10 inch round or a square baking dish for a thicker cobbler.
- non-stick cooking spray
- large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen peaches thawed or 3½ pounds of fresh peaches
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice can substitute for lime juice
- 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 4 ounces butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Add peaches, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a large mixing bow. Stir well with a mixing spoon to combine. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
- To that same mixing bowl, add dry cake mix, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir with a mixing spoon to combine (mixture will look crumbly). Use a spatula to spread the cake mixture in an even layer on top of the peaches.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, until bubbly and golden. Let cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- If desired, serve topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen peaches with 30 ounces (two 15-ounce cans) of canned peaches in natural juice (don't use fruit packed in heavy syrup). Drain juice before using.
- If you crave crunchy fruit desserts, consider making a peach crisp next time. It includes oats, so the topping has a bit more texture and bite.
- Peach dump cake with cherries: Replace half of the peach slices with cherry pie filling for a sweet and tart combo that’s always a hit. Use a white cake mix or yellow cake mix depending on your preference.
- Spiced peach cobbler: Add a warm touch by mixing cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg into the dry cake mix before topping the cobbler. A spice cake mix also works great to give it extra cozy flavor.
- Pear and peach cobbler: Mix equal parts pears and peach slices for a fruity twist. You can also substitute the can of peaches with peach pie filling or fruit packed in light syrup.
- If you want to make the dessert ahead, freeze it unbaked. It will keep in the freezer for about 3 months. When you're ready, let it thaw in the fridge before baking.
- We do not recommend freezing baked cobbler because the topping becomes a bit soggy.
- Peach cobbler with cake mix can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Enjoy leftovers cold (it’s delicious!) or reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350℉.
