Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 4–5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: Pinch of salt
- Optional: Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish in the preheating oven. This will brown the butter. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn; it should be golden brown and smell nutty.
- Step 2: Remove the baking dish from the oven. Evenly spread the sliced peaches over the browned butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the peaches.
- Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and milk. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
- Step 4: Drop spoonfuls of the cake mix batter evenly over the peaches. The batter does not need to completely cover the peaches.
- Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
- Step 6: Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days; the topping may soften slightly.
- Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until warmed through, for the best texture.
- Serve warm cobbler with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream to complement the brown butter flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish with peaches, as this can prevent the topping from browning properly – a single layer is best!
