Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches
Make the best shortcut Peach Cobbler using canned peaches and a cake mix. A warm, buttery, fuss-free dessert that tastes like homemade comfort in every bite.
Ingredients
- 3 15 oz canned sliced peaches, one can drained or 2 (24 oz) jars sliced peaches (we buy at Costco) or 2 quarts of home canned peaches*
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup salted butter, frozen (freeze for grating) + 2 Tbsp for buttering the baking dish
- Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, for serving
Equipment
- 9x13 baking dish (I like to use a ceramic baking dish)
- Large bowl (These glass bowls are so handy for baking)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F and lightly butter a 9x13 baking dish.
- In a large bowl add *2 jars of peaches, one with syrup, and one jar drained. [If using 15 oz canned peaches, use 2 cans with syrup and drain 1 can.]
- Next, add the almond and vanilla extracts (yes, so good!). Sprinkle the cornstarch and cinnamon over the peaches, and gently stir the peaches with a spoon.
- Pour the peaches into the buttered 9x13 baking dish.
- Open the box of cake mix and sprinkle evenly over the peaches.
- Next sprinkle evenly the dark brown sugar over the cake mix.
- Grate the stick (½ cup) of salted butter over the brown sugar.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. Don’t overcook the top.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Serve warm with some Vanilla Bean ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
Sandy’s tips:
- Storage: Keep leftover peach cobbler with cake mix in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days to maintain freshness. It won’t freeze well, so be sure to eat it fresh.
- Make ahead: You can prep this dessert ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven while you enjoy dinner.
- Add-ins: Fold chopped pecans or walnuts into the cobbler filling for extra crunch, or sprinkle them on top before baking.
- Cake mix: Try using a "French Vanilla Cake Mix" - for a richer flavor, instead of a yellow cake mix.
- Peaches: If you use jarred peaches, you’ll need 2 24-oz jars. I buy them from Costco just for this recipe.
- Ice Cream TIP: We love Tillamook's Vanilla Bean Ice Cream served with this cobbler. It's the best with the most intense vanilla flavor that pairs beautifully with peaches.
- TRY THIS: A read said "Try adding a small can of crushed pineapple with the peaches for a fruitier flavor."
