Peach Cobbler With Cake Mix
This peach cobbler with canned peaches and cake mix is seriously the easiest dessert to prepare! It literally will take you less than 10 minutes to assemble, and it will be on the table less than an hour from start to finish.
I love how little effort it takes to enjoy this delicious, warm, ooey gooey cobbler. This is definitely a great last minute dessert!
It has a crunchy caramelized topping, and a perfectly thickened sauce with hints of cinnamon. The cake mix doesn't really create a cake texture, but it does add this awesome flavor that absorbs some of the peach juice.
I definitely recommend serving this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or some whipped topping. They all truly take it to the next level.
If you don't have cake mix but happen to have some Bisquick on hand, try making our popular Bisquick Peach Cobbler recipe! Either way, it's a perfect budget recipe.
Ingredients
Canned Peaches: I used sliced peaches canned in light syrup. I think peaches in light syrup are perfectly sweet for this recipe.
You can use peaches canned in either juice or heavy syrup though, it's all totally dependent on how sweet you like your cobbler. Peaches canned in juice will be less sweet, and peaches canned in heavy syrup will be sweeter.
Cornstarch: Cornstarch is the perfect thickener for cobbler. It takes the liquid from the fruit and turns it into a velvety smooth sauce.
It's important to make sure the cobbler is cooked long enough that the fruit filling is bubbling from the heat, otherwise the cornstarch won't have a chance to thicken the sauce properly.
Cinnamon: Adding just a little bit of ground cinnamon adds a lovely layer of warmth and fragrance to this dessert.
If you prefer a brighter flavor instead of a warmer flavor, try omitting the cinnamon and adding some freshly squeezed lemon juice instead.
Cake Mix: Yellow cake mix is the way to go for this dump and bake cobbler recipe. It's denser with a more custard-like flavor than white cake mix is, which is perfect for a summer comfort food dessert like cobbler.
Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar adds a deeper and warmer flavor thanks to the molasses. That flavor pairs perfectly with stone fruits, so it's wonderful in this peach cobbler.
Butter: I opted for salted butter, but feel free to use unsalted if you prefer. I like the combination of a little salty with the sweet in my baked fruit desserts.
As this cobbler bakes, the little pats of butter melt and perfectly moisten the cake mix so that it turns into the best crumble topping. It's so much easier than having to make a cobbler topping from scratch.
The trick is to make sure to cut the butter into small pieces, and then evenly space the pieces across the cake mix. If you don't evenly space the butter, you'll end up with dry patches of cake mix.
How To Make Peach Cobbler With Cake Mix
Start by preheating the oven and greasing your casserole dish. Add two cans of peaches to the prepared casserole dish (including the juices), and just the peaches (without the juices) from the third can. Sprinkle the cornstarch and cinnamon on top, then stir to combine. (See the recipe card below for the full printable instructions.)
Sprinkle the cake mix over the peaches, then use your hands to evenly spread the cake mix out.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the cake mix, then evenly place the pieces of butter across the top of the cobbler. Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the cobbler is bubbling and golden brown. See the recipe card below for the full written instructions, including ingredient amounts, cooking times, and helpful tips, etc.
What Is The Difference Between Dump Cake And Cobbler?
This recipe could really be called either a dump cake or a cobbler.
A dump cake is made with cake mix by adding the ingredients directly to the baking dish without mixing the ingredients first.
A cobbler is typically made with a layer of fruit topped with a pie or biscuit layer.
This dessert combines the two by having a layer of peaches on the bottom topped with a layer of cake mix on top.
What Can I Use To Thicken My Peach Cobbler?
Cornstarch is the best thickener to use in peach cobbler. When the cornstarch mixes with the juices in the oven, the heat activates the cornstarch so that it thickens the fruit juice into a beautiful sauce.
Do Peaches Need To Be Soft For Cobbler?
Generally, if you use harder peaches in a peach cobbler, you'll need to bake the cobbler for longer and add additional sugar to make up for the lack of sweetness in the fruit.
Since we're using canned peaches, you don't need to worry about how ripe or unripe the peaches are for this recipe. I also love using canned peaches here because it means you can enjoy this dish year round!

BEST Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix Recipe
This peach cobbler with cake mix is ultra quick and easy to prepare! You only need a few pantry staple ingredients to make this delicious dessert recipe.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Additional Time 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Ingredients
- 3 (15 ounce) cans sliced peaches (see notes)*
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons butter (sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C) and lightly grease a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Dump 2 cans of the peaches with the syrup into the prepared casserole dish. Add only the peaches from the third can (I used a fork to remove the peaches from the can to leave most of the syrup behind).
- Sprinkle the cornstarch and cinnamon over the peaches. Mix until combined.
- Evenly sprinkle the cake mix over the peaches, then use your hands to spread it out evenly (making sure the center and edges have about the same amount of cake mix).
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the cake mix. Spread the butter slices evenly over the brown sugar.**
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top is bubbly and golden brown (about 40 minutes).
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Serve warm with some vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
*I prefer the taste of the peach slices canned in light syrup, but you can use peaches canned in juice or heavy syrup, too. It all depends on your taste preference and how sweet you want it to be.
**It's very important to evenly spread the butter out, so small pieces work best. It takes a little more time to spread them out completely evenly, but if you don't you'll end up with dry patches.
