Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt 1 stick of margarine in a large pan and set aside.
- Melt 2 sticks of margarine and mix it with the cake mix until the mixture becomes stiff.
- Pour the sliced peaches with juice into the prepared pan.
- Spoon the cake mixture over the peaches evenly.
- Bake at 350°F until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peaches. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. You can also use fresh peaches instead of canned for a fresher taste. If the batter is too stiff, add a splash of milk to achieve the right consistency.
Serving Suggestions
This peach cobbler is delightful served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. For a twist, consider pairing it with Sweet Spiced Walnuts Or Pecans for added crunch. It also makes a wonderful dessert alongside a hearty Chicken Sunday Dinner, balancing the meal perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh or canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Just make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before using in the recipe. This will prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery.
What can I do if the cake topping is too dry?
If the cake topping comes out dry, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of cream cheese frosting on top for moisture. You can also serve it with a scoop of ice cream to balance the dryness.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute the butter flavored cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix. Make sure to check that the other ingredients, like margarine, are also gluten-free to ensure the entire dish meets your dietary needs.
