Ingredients
- 3 15-oz cans peaches: Opt for canned peaches to save time; fresh peaches would require peeling and slicing. Drain well for best texture.
- 1 tablespoon vanilla: Adds a rich, aromatic depth to complement the peaches.
- 1 cup brown sugar (divided): Provides sweetness and caramel undertones. Light brown sugar works too.
- 1 15.25 oz box yellow cake mix: The backbone for the quick cobbler crust. If unavailable, a white cake mix can work as well.
- 1 stick butter (melted): Grants a rich, buttery flavor to the topping. Substitute with margarine if needed.
How to Make It
Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 350℉. This ensures the cobbler will bake evenly. Drain the peaches thoroughly and pour them into a 9×13 baking dish, spreading them out to form an even layer. Proper draining prevents a watery dessert.
Step 2: Infuse with Vanilla
Drizzle vanilla over the peaches. Stir gently to distribute the flavor evenly among the peaches, which enhances the overall aroma of the cobbler.
Step 3: Sweeten the Base
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar evenly over the peaches. This initial layer of sugar adds sweetness and begins to create a syrup as it bakes.
Step 4: Create the Cobbler Topping
In a separate bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and another 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Mix until no dry powder remains and the mixture is clumpy. The butter binds the dry mix, forming a crumbly texture essential for a proper topping.
Step 5: Assemble Your Cobbler
Crumble the mixture over the peaches, aiming for an even layer. This will bake into a crust that absorbs some peach juices while adding texture.
Step 6: Finish with Sweetness and Bake
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar over the topping. This final touch caramelizes while baking, giving a crunchy, sweet finish. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly, ensuring perfect slices.
Recipe FAQs
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches. Peel and slice about 8-10 peaches, and add a splash of peach or apple juice to mimic the syrup canned peaches come in. Adjust sugar levels based on sweetness preference.
What if I don’t have a yellow cake mix?
A white cake mix is a suitable substitute. It will yield a lighter crust and slightly less flavor depth, but the overall outcome remains delicious.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, it can be prepared in advance. Cover the baked cobbler and refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat portions in the oven at 350℉ until warmed through for serving.
