Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in the pan that you will cook the cobbler in.
- Mix together the cake mix and milk until combined.
- Pour the batter into the melted butter in the pan without spreading it.
- Pour the can of sliced peaches and juice on top of the batter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the peaches.
- Bake in a 325°F oven until the top is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using buttermilk instead of regular milk. If you don't have sliced peaches, fresh or frozen peaches can be substituted; just ensure they are sliced and slightly thawed if frozen. You can also experiment with different cake mixes, like lemon or spice, for a unique twist. This dessert pairs beautifully with Easy Biscuits for a delightful brunch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for added indulgence. It also pairs well with a simple side of yogurt for a lighter option. For a festive touch, consider drizzling with caramel sauce or serving alongside Jean Tucker's Peanut Butter Ice Cream for a delicious contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. If reheating the entire cobbler, cover it with foil and warm it in a 350°F oven for about 15-20 minutes to maintain moisture.
