Ingredients:
1 can (15 oz) of peaches in syrup (or fresh peaches if preferred)
1 box of yellow cake mix (or any flavor you prefer)
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup of sugar (optional, depending on how sweet your peaches are)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, but adds a nice touch)
A pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Peaches: Open the can of peaches and drain the syrup (or just use fresh, sliced peaches). If you’d like it sweeter, add about 1/2 cup of sugar to the peaches and stir it in. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon here for extra flavor.
Butter the Baking Dish: Take a 9×13 inch baking dish (or any similar size) and lightly butter it. You can also spray it with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Spread the Peaches: Evenly spread the peaches at the bottom of the prepared dish.
Cake Mix Layer: Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches. You don’t need to mix it; just make sure the entire surface is covered.
Butter It Up: Cut the stick of butter into small slices and scatter it evenly over the cake mix. The butter will melt and create a golden, crumbly top.
Bake: Put the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy it on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
Fruit Variations: You can swap peaches for other fruits like cherries, blueberries, or apples for a different twist on the cobbler.
Add Nuts: Toss in some chopped pecans or almonds for added crunch and flavor.
Spices: If you like a spiced-up version, sprinkle in some nutmeg or allspice along with the cinnamon.
Serve Warm: Cobbler is best served warm, especially with some ice cream or whipped cream to balance the sweetness.
Variations:
Cinnamon Roll Cobbler: Use cinnamon rolls instead of cake mix for a gooey, sweet dessert.
Oatmeal Cobbler: Mix oats into the cake mix to give it more texture and a healthier feel.
Sugar-Free Version: Use a sugar-free cake mix and reduce or eliminate the added sugar to make it a lighter option.
Vegan Option: Use a plant-based butter substitute and a vegan-friendly cake mix for a dairy-free version.
Corrections:
If you’re using fresh peaches, make sure to peel and slice them before using them in the recipe. Also, you may need to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit.
For a more “from-scratch” feel, you can make your own cake batter by combining 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1/4 cup of melted butter.
Enjoy!
