Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg with the cake mix before sprinkling it over the peaches. If you're looking for a lighter option, you can substitute the margarine with a plant-based butter or coconut oil. You can also use fresh peaches if they're in season, but increase the sugar slightly if they aren't very sweet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just make sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the baking pan. This will help maintain the right texture and prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery.
What can I do if I don't have a 9 x 13-inch pan?
If you don't have a 9 x 13-inch pan, you can use two 8-inch square pans or a similar-sized baking dish. Just be sure to keep an eye on the baking time, as smaller pans may cook faster.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cobbler ahead of time by assembling it and refrigerating it before baking. When you're ready to bake, simply extend the baking time by a few minutes to ensure it's heated through and bubbly.
