Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz / 425 g each) sliced peaches in juice, drained slightly (or about 4 cups fresh peeled and sliced peaches)
  • 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare the peaches: If using canned, drain most of the juice but keep a little for moisture. If fresh, peel, slice, and toss with 1 teaspoon sugar and a splash of lemon juice. Spread the peaches evenly in the baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without stirring.
  4. Melt 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter in a small bowl. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until combined.
  5. Pour the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the cake mix layer, covering as much surface as possible.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges. Tent loosely with foil after 30 minutes if browning too quickly.
  8. Cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the juices thicken.

Notes

Do not stir the layers to maintain the cobbler texture. Melt butter until warm and fluid but not hot to avoid cooking the cake mix prematurely. Use fresh cinnamon for best flavor. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
