Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or two 15-ounce cans of sliced peaches in juice, drained)
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (1.5 tsp recommended)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches with lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust if peaches are very sweet). Stir gently to mix.
- Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without stirring.
- Melt the butter and drizzle it evenly over the cake mix layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
- Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Do not stir after adding the cake mix and butter to maintain a crisp topping. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave for about 30 seconds per serving. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, use appropriate cake mixes and butter substitutes.
