Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the melted butter before pouring in the cake mix. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter works just as well. You can also substitute fresh peaches or frozen ones if you prefer. To enhance the spice, feel free to experiment with nutmeg in addition to cinnamon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just slice about 4-5 cups of ripe peaches and toss them with a little sugar to enhance their sweetness before layering them over the cake mix. Fresh fruit will give a wonderful, vibrant flavor to the cobbler.
Is there a gluten-free option for the cake mix?
Absolutely! You can easily substitute the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix. Just ensure that all other ingredients are gluten-free, and your cobbler will be suitable for those following a gluten-free diet.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the cobbler?
To adjust the sweetness, you can reduce the amount of sugar you sprinkle over the peaches or use a sugar substitute if desired. You can also experiment with unsweetened applesauce in place of some of the butter for a healthier twist.
