Ingredients

  • 2 cans (21 oz each) peach pie filling
  • 1 box (13.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon raw coarse sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. 
  • Dump the canned peach pie filling into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. 
    2 cans (21 oz each) peach pie filling
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the dry cake mix and melted butter until well incorporated. Spoon the mixture over top of the peaches.
    1 box (13.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • Sprinkle the raw sugar and ground cinnamon over the top of the cake batter. 
    1 tablespoon raw coarse sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. 
  • Let the cobbler rest and cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You could use any cake mix you prefer - such as a white cake mix, french vanilla, etc - but I highly recommend sticking with the yellow cake mix for the best buttery flavor. Any yellow cake mix variety works such as classic yellow cake mix, buttery golden yellow, etc. Just make sure you are using the smaller cake mix size in the 13.25 ounce. If using a larger one (like 15.25 oz) then remove 4 tablespoons of the dry cake mix and discard it, and use the remaining cake mix for the recipe. 
  • This easy dump cake dessert is best enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My family loves vanilla bean ice cream, but you could even serve it with a peach cobbler ice cream or peach ice cream. Another option is to serve it with a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top - make homemade whipped cream, use Cool Whip, or store-bought spray whipped cream. 
  • Raw sugar is a coarser sugar that can be found in the baking aisle. Sometimes labeled as turbinado sugar. I love the texture and crunch it gives; however, if you can't find it or just don't want to purchase it, simply use granulated sugar instead. 
  • After testing this recipe it is best to use unsalted butter. Normally I always bake with salted butter, but in this cake mix recipe, the unsalted butter tastes the best. Of course salted butter can be used if wanted/needed. 
  • Feel free to switch this recipe up and use any canned pie filling. A cake batter blueberry cobbler (with blueberry pie filling), a cake batter mixed berry cobbler (with mixed berry pie filling), or use strawberry, blackberry, apple, or cherry pie filling. For some of the pie fillings you may not need or want the ground cinnamon, so just omit that. I think the ground cinnamon would work for any pie filling but it's up to you.
