Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour the canned sliced peaches with juice into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches and pat down gently.
- Slice the margarine into pats and spread them in a checkerboard pattern on top of the cake mix.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the cake mix. If you want a healthier twist, substitute the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix or a homemade cake mix. You can also use fresh or frozen peaches instead of canned, just remember to adjust the sweetness accordingly, as fresh peaches may require more sugar.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with Dad'S Famous Garlic Slaw for a sweet and savory combination. For an added twist, consider drizzling some caramel sauce on top before serving or enjoy it alongside a cup of coffee for a cozy treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches, and adjust the sugar to your taste since fresh peaches are less sweet than canned. Remember to add a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.
What can I substitute for margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, unsalted butter is a great substitute. For a vegan option, use coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative. Just ensure whichever substitute you choose is melted before spreading over the cake mix.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the peach cobbler in advance and store it unbaked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just bake it when you're ready to serve. If you bake it ahead of time, reheat it gently to maintain its texture.
