Ingredients
  

  • 6 Medium Size Peaches (canned or fresh, drained if canned)
  • 7 tbsp melted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Box yellow or vanilla cake mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Spread the drained peaches evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Sprinkle ¼ cup brown sugar over the peaches. Drizzle vanilla extract and toss gently.
  • In a bowl, combine the cake mix, ¼ cup brown sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.
  • Crumble the topping mixture evenly over the peaches. Don’t press it down or stir.
  • Bake for 45–50 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, preferably with vanilla ice cream!

Storage Tips

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or enjoy cold.

Notes

  • Peaches: You can use fresh, canned, or even frozen peaches. Just make sure to drain the canned ones and thaw the frozen peaches before using.
  • Cake Mix Flavor: Yellow cake mix is classic, but vanilla or butter pecan cake mix works great too for added depth of flavor.
  • Butter Tip: Use real butter (not margarine) for the best rich flavor and golden crisp topping.
  • Sweetness: If your peaches are already sweet, you can reduce the added sugar slightly.
  • Texture Tip: For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or oats over the cobbler topping before baking.
  • Serving Suggestion: Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
