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 : )!

You don't mention the size of the pan at all. I'm guessing it's 9x13, then again, could be 9x8 or 8x8. You just say My Casserole Dish. That can mean anything. Always remember, cooking is an art, but baking is a SCIENCE.
momcrieff
Thank you for letting me know I didn't mention the size. I'll go right into the post and correct that. It is a 9 x 13 pan.

Making the 3 ingredient peach cobbler - can you use homemade canned peaches??
momcrieff
I would think homemade canned peaches would work well. And, be even more delicious!

I'd like to thank you for sharing this recipe, it's one of our top 3 favorite deserts now. Delicious!!!!
DJ
I like a lot of peaches. I used 3 cans of peaches. I added vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, allspice & nutmeg. I should have thicken the heavy syrup. Taste ok for a lazy way of making a peach cobbler.
momcrieff
Glad you enjoyed the peach cobbler! Thanks for sharing the recipe with your readers!! It is so easy and I keep the ingredients on hand so I can make this last minute.
Paige
can I use a pie crust on top instead of the cake?
momcrieff
I think that would work just fine! You probably need to bake it according to the pie crust directions.
Caroline Herman
What temp did you set the oven to? This looks amazing!!! Super simple for a college girl to make!
momcrieff

Oddly enough I decided to find a recipe for peace cobler yesterday. Then, being lazy, I thought I would wait to see what Momcrief had this week. Welllllllll, here we all are and I will be checking it out Saturday.
momcrieff
All I can tell you is my teen boys LOVE this! Let me know how it turns out for you!

I wonder if it will work with a gluten free cake mix?
momcrieff
I have not done that but would think it's worth a try. If you do try making this with a gluten free cake mix, please let us know how it turned out!
Sal Shearer (@TuffGirl)
This looks so good! Does it have to be butter, though? Could I just put a dollops of margarine over it all?
momcrieff
I have never made it with margarine but I think it would work. Just make sure to use the stick margarine (like you would bake with).

So I did try it with the peaches pie filing, turned out great!
momcrieff
Thank you for letting us know! Hmmmm, so many pie fillings to try out now!!
Beth
Sooo I didn't have peaches in the juice but I had peaches pie filling, would that be ok?
momcrieff
Not 100% sure BUT, I think there is a good chance it would work. It's pretty low risk to try though. If you do, please let us know if it works out!

Here in my part of the USA we always called this kind of cake a "Dump" cake. 🙂 Easy because you just dump in your ingredients, shake it around a little bit, "patty cake" the top and it's near done! Make all kinds with different fruits AND different box cake flavors, too! How about cherries with a chocolate brownie mix? YUM!!
momcrieff
Thanks for your comments. I will have to try the cherry and brownie mix suggestion. Sounds really good!

Looks delicious! And I like how you put small pats of butter on top instead of melting it and trying to pour it evenly. Genius.
Marge
Would this work with fresh peaches that have been frozen? Looks yummy!
Sue
Made this and it was delicious! Was gone in 2 days! Thanks so much for the great recipes.
