Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Sliced Peaches: Canned peaches are convenient, but fresh or frozen peaches can work too! Just peel and slice fresh peaches, or thaw frozen ones before use. If you’re feeling adventurous, try using other fruits like cherries or blueberries!
Yellow Cake Mix: This is the star of the recipe! You can swap it with a white or vanilla cake mix if that’s what you have. If you prefer a gluten-free option, look for a gluten-free cake mix that fits your taste.
Butter: Unsalted butter is what I like for better control over salt in the recipe. If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can use coconut oil or vegan butter, which adds a nice hint of flavor!
How Do You Get a Golden, Crispy Cobbler Top?
To achieve that delicious golden crust, layering is key. Make sure to drizzle the melted butter evenly across the dry cake mix. This allows the butter to soak in and create a nice, crispy crust as it bakes.
- Spread drained peaches evenly in your dish, then sprinkle the dry cake mix on top without mixing.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly, ensuring every part has some buttery goodness!
- Check for doneness by looking for a golden top and bubbling peach filling.
Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in, as it will be very hot! A scoop of ice cream on top just makes it better. Enjoy your delightful dessert!
Easy Cake Mix Peach Cobbler
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix (dry)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: ground cinnamon or nutmeg for sprinkling

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful peach cobbler takes about 10 minutes to prepare and around 40-45 minutes to bake, giving you a total time of about 55-55 minutes. Perfect for a quick dessert or an easy family gathering treat!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly and gets that lovely golden color on top.
2. Prepare the Peaches:
Open the canned peaches and drain them. Make sure to reserve about 1/2 cup of the syrup for added flavor. Then, pour the drained peaches into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading them out evenly across the bottom.
3. Layer the Cake Mix:
Next, sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches. Don’t mix—just let the cake mix sit on top, as this will form the cobbler’s delicious crust.
4. Add the Butter:
Now, drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. This step is crucial as it helps create that golden, crispy topping as the cobbler bakes. Grab a spoon or spatula to ensure all areas of the cake mix are moistened.
5. Spice It Up (Optional):
If you like, you can sprinkle a little ground cinnamon or nutmeg over the top for extra warmth and flavor. This is totally optional but adds a cozy touch!
6. Bake Your Cobbler:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for about 40-45 minutes. You’re looking for a lovely golden brown top and bubbly peaches around the edges.
7. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, carefully remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This helps the filling set a little bit. Serve it warm, and if you like, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat!
Enjoy your quick and delicious peach cobbler! 🍑🍦
FAQ for Easy Cake Mix Peach Cobbler
Can I Use Fresh or Frozen Peaches Instead of Canned?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches can be peeled, sliced, and used in place of canned. For frozen peaches, thaw them first and drain any excess liquid to avoid a soggy cobbler.
What If I Don’t Have Yellow Cake Mix?
No problem! You can substitute with white or vanilla cake mix if that’s what you have on hand. Each will offer a slightly different flavor but will still make a great cobbler.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the microwave or oven until warmed through, and consider adding a scoop of ice cream for extra goodness!
Can I Make This Cobbler Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can prepare everything up to the baking step in advance! Just cover the assembled dish and refrigerate it. When you’re ready, pop it in the oven directly from the fridge, but you may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
