Easy three-ingredient peach cobbler dessert
This three-ingredient peach cobbler is still a favorite from when I first started blogging! It is a quick and easy dessert since I usually have everything at home.
Seriously, these are the three ingredients! Yellow cake mix, a large can of peaches, and a stick of butter! I've been told this is a dump recipe in some parts of the country. Three ingredient peach dump recipe doesn't sound as good!
Oh, yeah! A super simple three-ingredient peach cobbler. It's probably the easiest recipe I've done, and it was gobbled up the quickest. Some of you may know this by a different term. This would probably be called a peach dump cake if you are from the South.
If you feel like a cherry-type cobbler, I've modified this recipe for you. Just take a look at this three ingredient cherry cobbler recipe
Peach cobbler with cake mix
Ingredients:
Yellow cake mix
Large can of Peaches (29 oz)
1 stick of butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
I use nonstick cooking spray on my casserole dish because it makes cleaning it later easier. And the whole point of this recipe is to keep it easy.
Dump a can of peaches into the casserole dish. I cut a few of the thicker ones in half, but you don't have to. I've even cut the peaches in half, so each piece is only about an inch wide. But you don't have to - keep it easy!
Pour the dry cake mix on top. Smooth it gently with a knife (or a spoon, or a fork, or your fingers....) DON'T MIX IT. Yes, it stays dry and powdery on top of the peaches - it should be like the picture below.

Cut the butter into thin slices and then spread it evenly on the cake mix.
You are done with your prep! Now put it in the oven for 30-40 minutes. You want it to be bubbly and the crust to be a golden brown. And it smells so good! My kids are used to me experimenting and making stuff. They usually ignore my newest project and roll their eyes at my excitement. {sigh} Teenagers!! But when I made this, they came in and looked for whatever smelled so good.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Enjoy the taste, savor the smell, and not even a bowl to clean!! The only thing that would make this three-ingredient peach cobbler any better would be a scoop of ice cream : )!

followed recipe!! When I checked there was dry cake mix spots on top! What happened?:
Susan Moncrieff
If the butter isn't sliced really thin and spread well, sometimes there are dry cake spots on top. If that happens, the easiest thing to do is just spray some cooking (or baking) spray on the dry spots and put it in the oven for 3 or 4 minutes. It still tastes amazing!

I learned this recipe years ago and it's a hit every time I make it.
Susan Moncrieff
This is an old recipe and it's enjoyed every time I make it! Glad it's a hit with your people too!

Do you use salted or no salt better. Thanks
momcrieff
If I have unsalted butter I will use that. But, it's totally fine with salted.

Made the peach cobbler today, added an extra 15 ounce can of peaches, I drained the juice. Was very yummy, quick and easy. I will definitely make again. Delicious with cool whip on top.

I use to be a manager with Tupperware and remember sharing these recipies with guests at my parties but it's been a long time and I had forgotten most of them. Thank you for reminding me. I with I'd remembered them when my church was taking food to the homeless and I was baking every Saturday. Stay well.

We all need these easy recipes, don't we! Thanks for doing what you do.

I made this for Thanksgiving this year and it was a huge hit! The only issue I ran into was that the spots between the butter were still flour-ey around the 30 minute mark, so I just chopped up a little bit more butter and put it anywhere that looked dry. Worked like a charm and was delicious!

I've been making it a little different, & we love it, I mix cake mix with 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, melt butter & mix together, then crumble over top of peaches it's so awesome, no dry gritty cake mix , try it you will love it .

Well, since I had a Bundt cake pan from my Christmas fruit cake baking, I thought I'd see what happened if I made it in that pan. I dont know whether the peaches migrate to the top. If they dont and I turn it out on a shallow platter and all of them look like a "peach upside down cake", it would be just as good and also an interesting take on the pineapple version.

Ms. Deb
can you spread the cake mix thru the peaches??? And when you pour the peaches in can you add sugar,cinnamon
Kathy
Made the Peach Cobbler easy breezy and OMG so good my husband and girlfriend wives it down with scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thanks so much for sharing!
Lo
Every time I try making this, not all of the cake mix cooks. So when you cut into it, you can actually see the cake mix in some spots. Not bad, still tastes delicious. Any ideas on how to fix that or does it do that for you too?? I think I’m cooking it long enough, the top is completely golden. Maybe more butter?
momcrieff
Make sure you are spreading the cake mix evenly. Perhaps even use a strainer and break up the lumps. Sometimes it happens when the cake mix is 'lumpy'. Basically, the cake mix needs to be able to absorb the butter and the liquid from the canned peaches.
Let me know if this helps!
