Notes

Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
  • Canned Peaches in Heavy Syrup: You will want two kinds of canned peaches. Keep 29 oz of peaches in their syrup.
  • Canned Peaches in Light Syrup: You will want to remove the other 29 oz of peaches from the syrup, which is much easier to do if they are canned in light syrup or even juice! Removing the syrup/juice keeps the cobbler from getting too liquidy.
  • Brown Sugar: Light or dark brown sugar will work! This is to get a crumble on top of the cobbler.
  • Cornstarch: Cornstarch is added to the peach cobbler to thicken the filling so that it doesn’t get soggy.
  • Extra Flavors: Cinnamon, Vanilla, Lemon Juice, Salt.
  • Yellow Boxed Cake Mix: Use a 13.25 oz box. Do not prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the back. You can also experiment with different flavors of cake mix like white, butter pecan, or spiced cake.
  • Butter: I use salted butter, but unsalted would work as well.
  • Feel free to add any other flavors and spices you’d like to the base of the peach cobbler. Other good additions would be nutmeg, almond extract, lemon zest, cardamom, or cloves!
  • Use a glass baking dish if you have one so that you can see the bottom/sides of the cobbler and monitor it as it bakes! If you don’t have a 9x13 glass pan, a nonstick pan will work just fine.
  • Serve this peach cobbler a la mode (with vanilla ice cream) for a perfect dessert!
