Ingredients:
1 box of yellow cake mix – The secret to that golden fluffy topping.
2 cans 15 oz each of sliced peaches in syrup – Sweet, juicy, and ready to go. (Pro tip: Save the syrup—it adds extra flavor!)
½ cup 1 stick of unsalted butter – For that rich, buttery goodness.
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon – A warm cozy touch that pairs perfectly with peaches.
¼ cup of granulated sugar optional – If you like your cobbler a little sweeter.
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract optional – For an extra layer of flavor.
Optional Toppings for Serving:
Vanilla ice cream – Because cobbler à la mode is always a good idea.
Whipped cream – Light fluffy, and oh-so-delicious.
Fresh mint leaves – A vibrant garnish that adds a refreshing finish.
Quick Tips for Ingredient Success:
If you’re using fresh peaches instead of canned you’ll need about 4–5 medium peaches, peeled and sliced. Toss them with a bit of sugar and lemon juice to mimic the sweetness and tang of canned peaches.
Swap granulated sugar for brown sugar to add a deeper caramel-like sweetness to your cobbler.
If you’re feeling adventurous add a handful of blueberries or raspberries to the peaches for a fruity twist.

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your cobbler bakes evenly and develops that perfect golden crust.

Open the cans of peaches and pour them (syrup included!) into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread them out evenly to create a juicy, flavorful base. If you’re using fresh peaches, toss the sliced peaches with a bit of sugar and lemon juice before adding them to the dish.

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches. If you’re using vanilla extract, drizzle it over the top for an extra layer of warmth and sweetness.

Open the box of yellow cake mix and sprinkle the dry mix evenly over the peaches. Don’t stir! This creates that delightful layered effect where the cake mix bakes into a fluffy topping while the peaches bubble underneath.

Cut the butter into small, even pieces and scatter them across the top of the cake mix. This step is key to achieving that rich, buttery flavor and golden crust.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges. Your kitchen will smell absolutely heavenly!

Allow the cobbler to rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This gives the flavors a chance to meld and makes it easier to portion out perfectly.

For an extra-crispy topping, broil the cobbler for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking. Watch it carefully to prevent over-browning!
If you prefer a gooier texture, reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.
Letting the cobbler sit for a few minutes after baking helps the syrup thicken slightly, making it even more luscious.
