Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium-sized Pyrex dish, empty the cans of sliced peaches with juice.

- Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches and pecans.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider substituting the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix to cater to dietary restrictions. Using fresh peaches in season can enhance the flavor, but canned peaches work well for convenience. You can also add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake mix for extra warmth. This recipe is perfect for a quick dessert alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
This Peach Cobbler Quickie is delightful when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with drinks like Cranberry Vodka Punch for a festive gathering. Consider serving it alongside a light salad for a balanced meal or as a sweet ending to a summer barbecue.
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 30-45 seconds or until warmed through. For a crisp topping, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, allowing the topping to regain its crunch.
