Spread this peach mixture evenly in the bottom of your greased dish. In another bowl, prepare the cake mix. Follow the package instructions, but use milk instead of water for half the amount.

For a pop of color, garnish with fresh peach slices. This makes your dish look inviting and delicious! {{image_2}} To boost flavor, use ripe peaches. Fresh peaches give the best taste. If you use canned peaches, drain them well. This keeps your cobbler from being too soggy. Add a pinch of salt to the cake mix. It balances sweetness and enhances flavor. You can also mix in nuts for crunch. Walnuts or pecans work great. If you want a twist, try adding almond extract instead of vanilla. This gives a nice nutty flavor. Sometimes, the top might not brown well. If this happens, increase the oven temperature by 25°F for the last 5-10 minutes. Another issue could be a soggy bottom. This can happen if the peaches release too much juice. To fix this, sprinkle a little cornstarch over the peaches before adding the batter. This helps to thicken any extra juice.

Try using apples, pears, or berries. Each fruit brings its own taste. For apples, add some lemon juice for zing. For berries, mix in a bit of sugar to balance the tartness. You can even blend fruits together for a unique twist. Don’t be afraid to experiment! If you want a lighter cobbler, consider using whole wheat cake mix. This adds fiber and nutrients. You can also reduce the sugar. Try using honey or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar. These natural sweeteners can give a nice taste and cut calories. Consider using less butter too. Applesauce works well as a substitute! To make this recipe vegan, replace the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based spread. Use a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk.

Ingredients
  

1 box of yellow cake mix

4 cups fresh or canned peaches (sliced, if fresh)

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

1 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of peaches)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 cup milk

Ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches (if using fresh, be sure to peel them first), 1/2 cup of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Spread this peach mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

      In a separate bowl, prepare the cake mix according to package instructions, substituting half the water for the milk. This will make the cake richer. Stir in the melted butter.

        Pour the cake batter evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish, making sure to cover all the peaches. Do not mix them; the batter will rise and create a separate top layer.

          Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

            Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For a delightful touch, serve warm slices topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
