Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 3 (15.25-oz) cans Sliced Peaches in Heavy Syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Cake Topping
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add Peaches: Dump two cans of peaches with their syrup directly into the prepared baking pan. Drain the third can and add the peaches (without syrup) to the pan. This provides the fruit base for the cobbler.
- Season Peaches: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon evenly over the peaches to add warm, spicy flavor that complements the sweetness of the fruit.
- Top with Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the cinnamon-coated peaches, ensuring a uniform layer that will crisp up beautifully during baking.
- Drizzle Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer. This fat helps create a golden, crispy crust on top of the cobbler.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly, indicating it’s fully cooked.
Notes
- For best results, use canned peaches in heavy syrup for sweetness and moisture.
- You can substitute the cinnamon with nutmeg or a pumpkin pie spice blend for variation.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to let it set.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- This dump cake requires no mixing, making it perfect for beginner bakers or busy weeknights.
