Can I use canned peaches?

Yes, you can use canned peaches for this cake mix cobbler recipe. And the recipe becomes even easier and quicker this way. Don’t drain the juice in the can. Just pour it in the pan because it moistens the cake mix when baking. You can even set some of the juice aside and pour it over the cake mix as the final step before baking.

Why is my peach cobbler too dry?

If you use fresh peaches and if they are not very ripe, you might end up with a dry result. Use the ripest fresh peaches or canned peaches with all its juice. Also, if you are using a smaller baking pan, you will need to reduce the amount of the cake mix. Use it just until it covers all the peaches.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
Place the peach slices to the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. If you use canned peaches, pour all of it including the juice.
Pour the cake mix into a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a sauce pan and add it into the bowl. Stir until combined. Sprinkle evenly over the peaches.
Optionally, top it with chopped almonds and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
Let it cool for 10-15 minutes and serve it warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and fresh peach slices.

Notes

Try to find the ripest peaches for this cobbler because we need all of their juice to have a better result. If you can’t find ripe peaches, use canned peaches with all the juice in the can.
You end up with a moister dessert when you use canned peaches, which is more like a peach cobbler cake.
You can increase or decrease the amount of cake mix or peach slices depending on the size of your baking pan. The key here is to cover the bottom of your baking pan with peach slices and to cover the top of those peaches with cake mix. So you can make adjustments to the measurements if your baking pan is smaller or larger than ours.
The baking duration may differ depending on your oven. Check it after 30 minutes and if the top is wonderfully golden and nuts are brown, it is done. Bake it longer if it still looks undercooked.
Keep the leftovers in the refrigerator if you make this on a hot summer day. Reheat or bring it to room temperature before serving.
