Ingredients
- 4-5 cups peaches peeled and sliced. About 4 medium peaches, may use frozen or canned peaches, drained
- 1/3 cup sugar I used all-natural cane sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract try using bourbon vanilla extract or a little vanilla and bourbon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 package yellow cake mix try other cake mixes too, see notes
- ¾ cup butter cold, thinly sliced
Optional Maple Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon bourbon vanilla extract or try a teaspoon of bourbon and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and spray a 2 quart or 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Note if using 9x13, it will feed more and be a thinner dessert.
- In a large bowl combine peaches, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and water, gently tossing to combine. Let sit for 1-2 minutes until sugar dissolves forming a slurry. Spoon mixture into prepared pan.
- Pour (or "dump") the dry cake mix over the top of the peaches and use fingers to make it even.
- Layer the butter pats evenly across the top of the cake, reserving 1-2 pats to use half way through baking for the areas that the dry cake mix has not absorbed.
- Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes until golden and bubbly and peach juice comes up from the sides. *Half way through baking, take reserved butter and break apart then using a knife, place on areas of the dump cake that are still dry cake mix, pushing down slightly. Return to oven to continue baking.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool 15 minutes before serving. For easier serving, cool completely. To serve peach cobbler style, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of fresh grated nutmeg along with a slice of fresh peach.
How to Make Bourbon Whipped Cream
- Whip cream until soft peaks form, then with a mixer on medium, add maple syrup and extract. Increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form. You’re welcome.

Notes
- Or serve with a generous dollop of whipped cream, because well peaches and cream! Topped with a fresh slice of peach and a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon and maybe a teensy drizzle of caramel sauce.

- Store leftovers covered tightly in the fridge up to 7 days. May be frozen, cool completely, cover tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving. May heat individual servings in the microwave in 20 second bursts until warm. If desired, preheat the oven to 325 degrees and heat for 20 minutes or until warmed through.

- Variations & Substitutions
- How to peel peaches
- If you are using canned peaches, ensure they are well drained in a colander before you put them in the sugar slurry.
- Use frozen peaches! Simply allow peaches to quickly defrost by laying them on a baking tray, then pat lightly with a paper towel.
- Nuts about Nuts | Slice almonds, chop pecans, or toast some coconut for more great ways to elevate this peach dessert.
- Oat Streusel? Stir in 1/4 cup of oats to the cake mix before you place the butter on top and place it in the oven for a true cobbler topping option.
- Not peach season? Try fresh blueberries, sliced or cubed apples, fresh blackberries, or sliced cherries to use the freshest fruits of any season for your fruit filling. Remember that nectarines, plums and apricots would also be delicious!
- Really in a rush? Replace fresh peaches with frozen (details in recipe card), or a couple cans of peaches.
- Change the Flavor | Use spice cake mix, white cake mix, pineapple cake mix, go crazy with your favorite!
- If your peaches are ripe, then simply peel peaches using a peeler, they will slip off easily.
- If peaches are a bit on the unripe side, then try this easy blanching method.
