Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain one can of peaches and arrange the peach slices evenly in a 9 x 12-inch baking dish.
- Pour the juice from the second can of peaches over the arranged peaches.
- Swirl in Amaretto over the peaches.
- Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches.
- Place slivers of butter (1/8-inch thick) on top of the cake mix.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the peaches. If you prefer a healthier option, consider using a gluten-free cake mix or a homemade biscuit topping instead. Swirling in Amaretto adds a delightful almond taste, but if you want to keep it alcohol-free, you can substitute with almond extract or simply omit it.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Lemon-Lime Summer Drink With Fresh Fruits, making for a refreshing meal. For a more indulgent experience, drizzle with caramel sauce or serve alongside fresh berries.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the cobbler in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual servings for about 30-60 seconds, but the oven will keep the topping crispier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! About 4-5 ripe peaches should be peeled and sliced. Just make sure to add a bit of sugar to the fresh peaches to enhance their sweetness, especially if they are not fully ripe.
What can I substitute for the yellow cake mix?
If you want a homemade option, you can make your own cake mix by combining flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Alternatively, a vanilla or almond flavored box mix can work well too, giving a different but delicious twist.
How do I know when the cobbler is done?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. If the center appears set and is lightly browned, it should be perfect. You can also insert a toothpick into the cake layer to test for doneness.
