This recipe is not your typical cake mix dump cake recipe. You don't actually dump the ingredients all together in the baking dish like my Cinnamon Toast Crunch Peach Dump Cake recipe.
For this peach cobbler with white cake mix recipe, we use an electric mixer to create the cobbler topping. It really is a delicious recipe that I hope you'll enjoy as much as my husband and I did when I recently baked it.

Main Ingredients Needed
Here's a quick overview of the ingredients for this recipe. Find the exact amounts and click the Instacart button to easily add them to your cart – all in the printable recipe card below!
Substitutions and Variations
Fresh peaches: Use about 4 cups of sliced, peeled fresh peaches instead of canned. You may need to adjust the baking time as fresh peaches release more moisture.
Frozen peaches: Thaw frozen peaches and drain any excess liquid before using. You might need to adjust the baking time since the frozen peaches may release excess water while the cobbler bakes.
Other canned fruits: Try canned pears, cherries, or a mixed fruit blend for different flavors.
Yellow cake mix: Substitute yellow cake mix for a slightly different flavor profile. Check out my Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix Recipe!
Spice cake mix: Use spice cake mix for a warm, autumnal twist.
Gluten-free cake mix: If you have dietary restrictions, opt for a gluten-free cake mix.
Step-by-Step Directions
This section includes step-by-step photos and instructions to guide you through the recipe. For the complete printable version, scroll down to the recipe card below.
Step 1: In the bowl of a KitchenAid mixer, or using a hand mixer, add the cake mix and softened butter. Combine until the mixture resembles crumbs.
Step 2: Open the two cans of peaches and add them to a 9X13 baking dish that's been sprayed with non-stick baking spray. Do not drain the peaches. I like using a cookie or ice cream scoop to drop the cobbler topping down on top of the peaches.
Expert Tip
Don't drain the peaches when you add them to the casserole dish. You need the juice to make this dessert delicious!
Step 3: After you add the cobbler topping, this is what it should look like before baking.
Baking Instructions
Step 4: Bake in a preheated 350°F degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the peaches are bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
How to tell if peach cobbler is done?
The filling around the edges of the cobbler should be bubbly and the crust a nice golden color. Another way is to insert a digital thermometer into the center of the cobbler. It should ready anywhere from 200° F to 205°F.

Should you refrigerate peach cobbler?
It's okay to leave any leftover peach cobbler at room temperature overnight, but after that you should store the leftovers in a refrigerator.
How to Store Leftover Peach Cobbler
Refrigerator: To store your cobbler, simply cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can also place individual pieces into airtight containers before storing in your refrigerator. Leftovers should stay fresh for up to 5 days.
Freezer: After baking, let your peach cobbler cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, or use airtight containers for individual portions. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thawing and Reheating Tips: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes.

Joann Starley says
Hi ! I needed a quick dessert. I used 1 qt jar of peaches with the juice. Followed instructions. EXCEPT used a 9X9baking dish. Which made it too juicy in my opinion. Am I correct in my thinking??? Cooling now haven’t tasted it yet??????!
Lois says
How did your cobbler turn out?
Sandra Parnell says
I'm getting ready to try it for the first time. Can't wait to see how it turns out
Lois says
I hope you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you!
Melissa says
Could you use margarine instead of butter
Lois says
No. Using margarine will change the consistency of the cobbler and not give you the same results. Thank you for visiting!
Marlow says
Just wondered. Can you use frozen strawberries instead of peaches? How would that work out.
Lois says
I think that would work fine! Sounds like a great recipe. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out...maybe I'll post a recipe for everyone!
Missy says

cindy says
can i use fresh peaches that are frozen now and if so , how much do i need
Lois says
I would use the same amount of fresh peaches that I use with the canned peaches...about 30 ounces or almost 4 cups. Thanks for visiting!
Heidi says
I’m planning on using fresh peaches. Do I need to add something to create more moisture or sauce?
Lois says
I’ve only made this recipe with canned peaches so far. Be sure to check the Substitutions and Variations section for ideas if you’d like to use fresh peaches instead. Let me know how it turns out for you!
SuzieQ says
I used 1 (15.25 oz) can of Peaches 🍑 w/syrup and 1 (21 oz) can of Strawberry 🍓 Rhubarb pie filling. I added a tiny bit of Cinnamon and Vanilla extract to the crumble mixture and now it’s baking. It looked beautiful going in the oven, hope it tastes just as good as it looks..... to be continued 😉
