Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Add the Peaches
Pour both cans of peaches with their syrup into a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
3. Add the Cake Mix
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches. Do not stir.
4. Add the Butter
Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the cake mix. Try to cover most of the surface so the topping bakes evenly.
5. Sprinkle Cinnamon
Lightly sprinkle cinnamon over the top for extra flavor.
6. Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
7. Serve
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra delicious dessert.
