Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a 9 x 13-inch pan, layer crushed pineapple with juice, followed by one layer of thawed frozen peaches, then sprinkle with sugar.
- Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix evenly over the layered fruits.
- Add the second layer of thawed peaches on top of the cake mix.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can skip the pecans or substitute with crushed graham crackers for added texture. To enhance sweetness, add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar layer. Keep an eye on baking time, as ovens vary; aim for a golden top and a bubbling fruit layer.
Serving Suggestions
This Layered Peach Cobbler is delightful served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which complements the sweet and tart flavors perfectly. For a brunch option, serve alongside a light salad or pair with coffee for a cozy dessert. It also pairs beautifully with Grand Champion Sponge Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through. This will help retain the cobbler's crisp top and gooey fruit filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh peaches are a great alternative! Just peel and slice them to yield about 4 cups, and adjust the sugar based on their sweetness. Fresh peaches will provide a more vibrant flavor and texture in your cobbler.
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, feel free to use two smaller baking dishes or even a larger round cake pan. Just ensure you adjust the baking time as necessary, checking for that golden, bubbly finish.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the cobbler a day in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. Just pop it in the oven before serving, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure it's heated through.
