Cake Mix Peach Cobbler is full of summer flavor! Fresh sliced peaches are tossed with cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla, and topped with a yellow cake mix and melted butter for one of the easiest desserts. Serve with ice cream for the perfect summer treat!
Why you’ll love this Cake Mix Peach Cobbler:
- Summer Peaches – Fresh summer peaches bake to juicy perfection in this easy dessert!
- Easy Cobbler Topping – Using a cake mix and melted butter on top make this like a dump-cake meets peach cobbler, and keeps things super simple.
- Super Flavorful – Even though this is an easy peach cobbler recipe, we’re not sacrificing on flavor at all! Cinnamon and vanilla enhance the peach flavor.
Ingredient Overview:
- Peaches – Be sure to use ripe peaches. Ripe peaches will have a little give when squeezed gently, instead of being quite firm or mushy.
- Cake Mix – I used a yellow cake mix. Any brand will work.
- Vanilla extract – Be sure to use pure vanilla, or vanilla bean paste.
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Gluten-Free – Use your favorite gluten-free cake mix if needed.
- Dairy-Free – You can use non-dairy sticks of butter to keep this dairy free.
- Cinnamon – Don’t love cinnamon? Try a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom instead.
How to Make this Peach Cobbler Recipe Step-by-Step:
Step 1: Slice your ripe peaches and dump the peach slices into a buttered 9×13 baking dish or casserole dish. Toss them with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of vanilla extract. This is just like making a peach cobbler dump cake!
Step 2: Pour the dry cake mix over the top of the peaches.
Step 3: Pour the melted butter over the top of the cake mix. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon sugar. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the peaches are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Serve warm from the oven, with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream! This is the perfect dessert for summertime. And the best part is how easy this simple peach cobbler recipe is, while still being incredibly delicious
Expert Success Tips:
- Use a 9×13 pan – If you can tell from the photos, I actually did not use a 9×13 pan when I photographed this recipe, which was a bit of a mistake as it didn’t bake the same since the pan was smaller. Just be sure to use a 9×13 pan and you won’t have any problems.
- Ripe Peaches – Be sure to use ripe peaches for the best results. They should be a bit soft but not super mushy.
Recipe Variations:
- Stone Fruit – I think a mix of juicy peaches and nectarines, or a mix of plums and peaches would be delicious in this recipe.
- White Cake Mix – If you prefer white cake mix, feel free to use that, but I think the yellow flavor pairs best with the peaches. I think a white cake mix would pair well with cherry pie filling.
- Frozen Peaches – Use frozen peaches to make this when fresh peaches are out of season. I don’t recommend using cans of peaches or a can of peach pie fillings.
Serving + Storing this Recipe:
This cake mix peach cobbler recipe is best served straight from the oven, while piping hot. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, not at room temperature, for 2-3 days and reheat in the oven.

Cake Mix Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling
- 8 medium peaches, sliced about 8 cups
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
For the Topping
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup salted butter, melted
- pinch of cinnamon sugar
For Serving
- vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9×13 pan.
- Make the Cobbler: Toss the sliced peaches together with the filling ingredients. Pour the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the peach filling. Pour the melted butter over the top of the cake mix. If some spots don't have butter, that's ok. Just try to get it as evenly as possible. Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the top of the cobbler.
- Bake: Bake for 60 to 75 minutes. The peaches will be very bubbly and the top will be golden brown.
- Serve + Store: Let rest for a few minutes before serving, then serve while it's nice and warm with vanilla ice cream. This is best on the first day, but leftovers can be kept in the fridge and reheated in the oven to preserve the crispness of the topping.

Everyone loved this dessert. The only thing I did different was, I used half of each sugar that was called for. It’s a super easy recipe. Definitely a keeper!
