This cobbler is buttery, warm, and comfort-food simple. It uses pantry staples and one can of peaches, so it works when life is busy and your sweet tooth calls. Three reasons why I love it: speed, flavor, and zero-fuss cleanup!

Canned Peach Cobbler Recipe

This version leans on canned peaches, a box of yellow cake mix, and butter. No mixing bowls, no fuss. Just drain the peaches, pour melted butter into an 8×8 dish, and the cake mix forms a crust as it bakes over the fruit. It is sometimes called a dump cake for that reason.

Quick notes to get it right every time:

• Drain canned peaches well to avoid a soggy filling. Heavy syrup or juice both work.
• Sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg over the peaches for extra warmth.
• For a crisper top, add a touch more butter or use a mix of butter and margarine.

This recipe is perfect for potlucks, family dinners, and weeknights. Want variety? Swap peaches for strawberries or blueberries, or add chopped pecans or a sprinkle of brown sugar for crunch.

Super Easy Peach Cobbler

Description

This Super Easy Peach Cobbler is one of the most delicious, buttery desserts you can make with minimal effort. It uses just a few pantry ingredients and one can of sliced peaches, so it’s budget-friendly and beginner-friendly. No mixing bowl is required: the butter melts over the cake mix and peaches in the pan, creating a crust-like topping as it bakes.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• One 15 oz can sliced peaches, drained (use slices, halves, or chunks)

Substitutions and notes:

• Use a gluten-free yellow cake mix to make this gluten-free.
• Try a butter-flavored cake mix or a yellow mix without chocolate chips for deeper flavor.
• Fresh peaches can be used: peel and slice about 4 cups, toss with a little sugar and lemon juice, then proceed the same way.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8 baking dish.
2. Pour 1/2 cup melted butter evenly into the prepared dish.
3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk until smooth to make the batter.
4. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the dish. Do not stir the layers.
5. Arrange the drained peach slices on top of the batter. Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg if you like.
6. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling bubbles around the edges. Ovens vary, so check at 30 minutes.
7. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Prep time: 10 minutes. Cook time: about 30 to 45 minutes. Serves 6.

Tip: Drain canned peaches thoroughly. Excess liquid can make the cobbler runny, and you want that buttery crust to form!

Storage and Make-Ahead

• Assemble a few hours ahead and refrigerate, then bake before serving.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
• Reheat single servings in the microwave or warm the whole dish in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
