I love peach cobbler. My Mr. Right loves peach cobbler. And Little Monkey, yep, he’s a big fan, too. But I do not love spending 2 hours slaving away in the kitchen, peeling peaches and mixing batter. Especially, since you have to turn the oven on and our AC unit has a hard time without all the extra heat. So, I decided to try an idea I had. It still involved the oven, but only about 20 mins of slaving. I determined it was worth it. I rummaged through my mom’s baking cupboard and snagged a box of yellow cake mix. It was expired, so I figured she’d probably never even notice it was gone. She hadn’t noticed when I told her…
EASY SWEET PEACHY COBBLER
Ingredients:
1 Yellow Cake Mix (and the ingredients on the back of the box)
2 Large cans of Sliced Peaches (you can always substitute 3-4 fresh peaches)
Ground Cinnamon
Ground Allspice
Nutmeg
Vanilla extract
Directions:
Put the cake mix in a bowl. You can mix it up the way it says to on the back of the box (eggs, oil, and water). I substitute applesauce for the oil and milk for the water. The applesauce makes a more dense cake (not to mention, less fat). The milk makes it slightly more creamy than water. Mix well. Then add 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of vanilla. More or less to taste, if you want. Add a sprinkle of allspice and another sprinkle of nutmeg. Mix well.
Open your cans of peaches and layer them on the bottom of a lightly greased 9×13” pan. I didn’t drain the peaches, just dipped them out with a fork.
Pour the cake batter over the top of the peaches. Bake as directed on the back of the cake box, approximately 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Let cool (or don’t, but be careful, it’s hot!). Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
