Ingredients
Scale
Peach Layer
- 6 Medium Size Peaches (canned or fresh, drained if canned)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 Box yellow or vanilla cake mix (approximately 15.25 oz)
- 7 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your peach cobbler.
- Prepare Peach Layer: Spread the drained peaches evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish to create the fruit base for the cobbler.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Sprinkle ¼ cup brown sugar over the peaches, drizzle with 1 tsp vanilla extract, and toss gently to coat the peaches evenly, enhancing sweetness and flavor.
- Make Topping Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the yellow or vanilla cake mix, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¼ tsp salt, 2 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp cinnamon if using. Mix in the 7 tablespoons of melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Assemble Cobbler: Crumble the topping mixture evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Do not press down or stir, allowing the topping to bake into a light, crisp crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to set. Enjoy warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or enjoy cold.
Notes
- You can use fresh or canned peaches; if using canned, be sure to drain them well to avoid excess liquid.
- For a spicier flavor, you can add additional cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg.
- This cobbler is best served warm, especially with a side of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Leftovers should be stored refrigerated and can be reheated gently in the microwave.
- Make sure not to press down the topping mixture to maintain a light, crumbly texture.
