A quick and easy peach cobbler dump cake with a crunchy brown sugar crumble topping that combines juicy peaches and a buttery, crispy crust for a comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz / 425 g each) sliced peaches in juice (not syrup)
  • 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (packed / 150 g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Drain the canned peaches slightly, reserving about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the juice. Pour the peaches with juice evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without mixing.
  4. Drizzle the melted butter slowly over the cake mix, covering as much surface as possible.
  5. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir in nuts if using. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake mix and butter layer.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the peach center is bubbling and the topping is golden and crunchy. Tent with foil after 35 minutes if edges brown too fast.
  7. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken and topping to set.

Notes

Use full-fat unsalted butter for best flavor and crispy texture. For gluten-free, use gluten-free yellow cake mix. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free cake mix. Avoid stirring after layering to maintain texture. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
