Ingredients
Instructions
- In a baking pan, place 3/4 of a box of yellow cake mix on the bottom.
- Slice 6 tablespoons of margarine and layer on top of the cake mix.
- Combine sliced peaches and cinnamon and spread over the cake mix layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining cake mix evenly over the peaches.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. You can substitute the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free version if needed. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, opt for unsweetened peaches or reduce the amount of butter used. This dessert can also be enhanced with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream when serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast to the warm peaches. This dessert pairs beautifully with *Nana'S Crumb Cake* if you're looking to create a dessert spread. For a refreshing touch, consider serving it alongside a light fruit salad or a dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the dessert to cool completely before storing. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel and slice about 6-8 medium peaches. Make sure to adjust the amount of sugar if you like it sweeter since canned peaches are often packed in syrup.
What can I serve this dessert with?
This peach dessert is versatile and pairs well with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a more complete meal, consider serving it with a side of *24 Salad* for a refreshing contrast.
How do I know when the dessert is done baking?
The dessert is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning while the center continues to cook.
