Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3-4 cups canned peaches, drained (reserve a bit of the syrup for added moisture)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Layer the Ingredients:
- Spread the drained peaches evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If you like your dessert extra juicy, drizzle a few tablespoons of the reserved peach syrup over the fruit.
- Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches, ensuring they’re fully covered.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix, making sure to cover as much of the surface as possible. For an extra touch of warmth and spice, sprinkle cinnamon on top.
- Bake to Perfection:
Bake the cobbler for 35–40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and bubbly. The aroma of butter and peaches filling your kitchen is your cue that dessert is almost ready! - Cool and Serve:
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. For the ultimate indulgence, pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Pro Tips:
- Want Extra Crispiness? Use cold butter and cut it into small cubes, scattering them over the cake mix instead of melting it.
- Experiment with Flavors: Swap the yellow cake mix for spice cake mix or add a sprinkle of brown sugar for caramel-like sweetness.
- Make It Your Own: Add chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the top layer for crunch.
