Equipment
- 9x9-inch baking dish
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Aluminum foil (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 15 ounce cans sliced peaches, drained, reserving ¼ cup of the juice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for enhanced flavor
Topping
- 1 box yellow cake mix 13.25 ounces
- ½ cup (or 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup chopped pecans optional
- 1-2 tablespoons coarse sugar for added crunch and presentation
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract (if using), and the reserved ¼ cup of peach juice. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Pour the peach mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In the same bowl, combine the dry cake mix and melted butter. Use a large spoon or clean hands to blend the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
- Evenly sprinkle the butter-cake mix crumble over the peach filling so there is complete coverage. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top. Sprinkle the coarse sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, you can loosely cover the cobbler with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This helps the filling to set slightly. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Storage Store any leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze Peach cobbler can be frozen for up to three months; however, keep in mind that the cake mix topping may become slightly soggy upon reheating.
Reheat To reheat, place the cobbler in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10-15 minutes or microwave individual portions until warm.
Substitutions
- Peaches: You can substitute canned peaches with frozen peaches or fresh peaches for added flavor.
- Cake Mix: Swap the yellow cake mix for a white or spice cake mix for a different flavor.
- Granulated White Sugar: Can be replaced with brown sugar for a richer, deeper flavor.
- Nutmeg: Use Allspice or Pumpkin Spice as an alternative.
