    Today, I'm going to show you how to make peach cobbler with cake mix!

    I love baking from scratch but sometimes, when time is short or you just need a change, this cake mix peach cobbler recipe does the trick. The ingredients are much more economical as well, especially if you do not have a stocked pantry with baking supplies.

    We loved this cobbler warm, after it had sat for about 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven.

    Ingredients - only 3 ingredients!

    Ingredients for recipe on marble board with text overlay.
    • Butter - butter should be cool and not at room temperature to make for easy slicing into squares.
    • Yellow cake mix - or you can use white cake mix or vanilla cake mix as well.
    • Canned peaches - you will need one large can or two small cans of peaches. The kind with the heavy syrup, not the peach juice.
    • Cinnamon - optional - add in ½ teaspoon cinnamon with the peaches

    How to Make Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix

    You can find the full recipe card with instructions at the bottom of this page. Don't worry about reading the cake mix recipe....you're not going to need it.

    You will need an 8x8-inch baking dish or casserole dish. You will not need to grease the dish.

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    Canned peaches are poured into an 8x8-inch baking dish.

    STEP 1 - Start by adding the canned peaches with syrup right into the 8x8-inch baking dish. baking pan

    Yellow cake mix is poured on top of canned peaches in baking dish.

    STEP 2 - Evenly scatter the dry cake mix on top of the peaches.

    Thinly sliced squares of butter are placed on top of cake mix in baking dish.

    STEP 3 - CUT unsalted butter into thinly sliced squares and place evenly on top of the cake mix.

    If you like, for a fancy finish, sprinkle a little brown sugar or coarse sugar on top of the cake mix. Completely up to you!

    A lot of recipes call for melted butter. I found that using melted butter made the top crispy in some areas and soggy in others.

    The squares of butter sit on top of the cake mix perfectly and you can see from the photo below that the crust is evenly browned.

    Bake in 350°F oven for 45 to 55 minutes. The top will be a golden brown when it's ready and it's normal for a few areas to be a little soft towards the middle.

        Would putting a thin layer of cake at the bottom of the pan some butter then peaches cake and butter work or would the bottom part not cook properly?

      Thanks, U'r a genius!!! U've won me over!!! Never will I ever over work myself wrestling with pie crust, peeling & prepping peaches while time slips away. I always add a little fresh squeezed lemon juice to my cobblers. I was blown away with the similarity in the taste of this recipe & the traditional pie crust cobbler. My Family never knew the difference & I'm not gonna tell... LOL

        I have made this recipe that called for a 13" x 9" baking dish. I am going to try using this version using an 8" x8" dish. A thicker texture... Yummy!

      Usually I see something like this for a 9x13 pan. Just wondering the benefit of using an 8x8 pan for this recipe. Looks so yummy. Need to try it!

        You can make it in either size pan. I usually like the 9x13 as well but I made this one with the smaller pan 🙂
