Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) sliced peaches in juice (not syrup)
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drain the canned peaches, reserving about ½ cup of the juice.
- Spread the peaches evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg evenly over the peaches.
- In a bowl, melt 1 cup (227g) of unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir in vanilla extract if using.
- Evenly sprinkle the entire box of yellow cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir.
- Pour the melted butter slowly and evenly over the cake mix layer.
- Drizzle the reserved peach juice evenly across the top.
- Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and crackly.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not stir the cake mix after sprinkling to maintain a crisp crust. Use melted butter poured slowly for best texture. Let the cake rest before serving to thicken the filling. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end if a crispier crust is desired. Fresh peaches can be used instead of canned by peeling and slicing 4-5 peaches and tossing with lemon juice.
