This super easy version of peach cobbler is can be made with just a few ingredients making it great for camping or a simple dessert at home.

  4. 1 box yellow or white cake mix
  5. 1/2 c. butter, cut into 1/2 or 1/4 tsp. size pieces

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Grease or spray a 9 X 13 inch baking dish.

  6. Sprinkle entire box of cake mix evenly over peach mixture.

  10. Bake until done; top is browned and peach syrup has thickened. About 40 to 45 minutes.
  11. Great when served warm with ice cream, Cool Whip, whipped cream, milk or just plain 🙂

Variations:

You need the liquid from the canned fruit to moisten the cake mix. DO NOT USE FRESH FRUIT OF FRUIT FILLING WITHOUT MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RECIPE.

Other fruits like pears or pineapple can be used instead of peaches.
