Ingredients

1 can (29 oz) of sliced peaches in syrup (or 2-3 cups fresh peaches, sliced)
1 box (15.25 oz) of yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 cup brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water (or the reserved peach syrup for more peach flavor)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Prepare the Peaches:
If using canned peaches, drain them but save some syrup for extra flavor. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into even pieces. Spread the peaches evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Make the Topping:
In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, ground cinnamon (if using), salt, and brown sugar (optional). Stir in the water (or peach syrup) and melted butter. Mix until a thick batter forms. Don’t overmix; it’s fine if the batter is a little lumpy.
Assemble the Cobbler:
Spoon the cake batter over the peaches in the baking dish. Use a spatula to gently spread the batter evenly over the top. It’s okay if some peaches are exposed; they will bake up beautifully.
Bake the Cobbler:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The edges should be slightly crisp, and the peach filling will bubble up around the cake topping.
Cool and Serve:
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

Notes

Variation Options:
For a fun twist, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the cake mix for a crunchy texture. You can also use a spice mix, such as pumpkin pie spice, to replace the cinnamon for a different flavor.
Fresh vs. Canned Peaches:
Fresh peaches can be used, but be sure to peel, slice, and toss them in a tablespoon of sugar if they’re not sweet enough. Using canned peaches in syrup gives the cobbler an extra depth of flavor and ensures a juicy filling.
Make Ahead:
This peach cobbler can be made ahead of time. Simply store it in the fridge once it’s cooled and reheat in the oven before serving.
Leftovers:
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for best results.
