Make this Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix if you love shortcuts because you need only 4 ingredients: Juicy peaches, cake mix, butter and nuts. So easy to make. It is perfect for summertime gatherings.
How to Make an Easy Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix
You will be amazed when you see how easy it is to make this classic dessert. Making an old fashioned peach cobbler from scratch is not that difficult, but sometimes we need even an easier version of recipes. Right? That’s what easy homemade cake mix is for when we bake a dessert like this.
Start by placing peeled peach slices to the bottom of a baking dish. You can use either an oval pan or a 9x13 casserole dish.
Pour the cake mix in a medium bowl and add in the melted butter. Mix to combine either using a spatula or your hands. The mixture will look really crumbly, but don’t worry. It will absorb the juice of peaches when baking and results in a perfect peach cobbler.
There are two other methods of combining peaches, cake mix and butter.
1)Pour the cake mix right over the peach slices evenly and top it with chopped cold butter. Try to scatter the butter pieces evenly.
2) Pour the cake mix over the peaches. Melt the butter and pour it over the cake mix evenly.
Although the two methods above technically sound easier because you don’t need an extra step in another bowl, neither of them is my favorite. I prefer melting the butter and combining it with the cake mix in a bowl until crumbly and then sprinkle this mixture over peaches. How hard can this step be? It is definitely worth because the cake mix is combined evenly with butter, which helps it bake evenly.
For a crunchy top and a nutty flavor, use your favorite nut or a combination of nuts for this peach cobbler made with cake mix. I used chopped almonds just because they were what we had on hand. Pecans, walnuts or pistachios work fine too. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes or until the top gets golden brown. Nuts over the cobbler toast wonderfully and add richness to this amazing peach dessert.
Can I Use Canned Peaches For A Quick Cobbler Recipe?
I always prefer fresh fruit to canned, but yes, you can use canned peaches for this cake mix cobbler recipe. Don’t drain all the juice in the can because it moistens the cake mix when baking. You can even set the juice aside and pour it over the cake mix as the final step before baking.
How to Serve Peach Cobbler
It is fantastic when served warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh peach slices. You can even make our No-Churn Peach Ice Cream recipe ahead and top your cobbler with it. The melting ice cream over this warm dessert takes it to the next level. I LOVE it with a cup of coffee, preferably Turkish coffee. Read the details and the steps of making this special coffee in our How to Make Turkish Coffee post.

I have been using this recipe for a couple years. I made a couple modifications. I use butter pecan cake mix. Add 1 cup quick oats and then mix the melted butter in. Canned peaches with the juice and cinnamon sprinkled on top. It turns out fantastic! I use to make crisp from scratch, not anymore. It’s one of my husband’s favorite and never tasted the difference when I started using this quick recipe. Thanks for posting it. I’ll be using it next with cherry pie filling and chocolate cake mix.
Yusuf says
Hi Brenda,
Soooo happy to hear this! Thank you so much for your time to share your feedback and twists you've made on the recipe.
I'm sure other readers will find these helpful too.
Using cherry pie filling or chocolate cake mix sounds super intriguing. Would love to hear how it turns out when you give them a try.

Love the peach cobbler and butter pecan cake mix modification. I'm going to try that one this weekend at our campout.
A favorite Boy Scout dessert my son loves to make on campouts is the cherry chocolate cake thing in a dutch oven, but he likes to dot the whole thing with thumb-sized pieces of cream cheese before you bake it over the coals. The lumps of cream cheese sink into the cake as it rises and bakes. Very decadent. It's soooo good with a hot cup of coffee.

I have made this recipe for many years and my family loves it. I partially drain the peaches and mine is never soggy. I also find it easier to melt the butter or margarine and drizzle it over the top.

Can you use a keto yellow cake mix with this recipe?
Yusuf says
Hi Susan,
We never had an experience with keto cake mix. So I don't want to mislead you. But I guess it works.
Annette says
Love this! I used white cake mix because that what I had and canned peaches(because now they are out of season), in 100% juice instead of syrup. I used walnuts and mixed them with 2 tbsp of brown sugar for the sweetness. Thank you for this versatile and very good recipe.

Yusuf says

I've made this several times and it's a good easy dessert. To cut down on the "sweetness" use peaches in very light syrup instead of heavy syrup.

Like another comment suggested, we added some cinnamon and brown sugar. It's VERY sweet, but maybe that works out for the better because it's the only thing stopping me from eating half the pan in one sitting lol. Might add less brown sugar in the future though. My husband and I have a very small list of very good dishes we'll make when we want to impress someone, and this cobbler made that list after I took the first bite and almost started crying because it was so delicious.
