Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup, undrained
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, sliced into thin pats
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pour the canned peaches with their syrup into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread them out evenly.
  3. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches—do not stir.
  4. Place the butter slices evenly over the top of the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
  5. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top if using.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

 

Notes

  • Use peaches in heavy syrup for maximum sweetness and best texture.

  • For a thicker filling, drain one can of peaches before using.

  • Don’t stir the ingredients—layer them as instructed for the right consistency.

  • Slice cold butter thinly and place evenly to avoid dry spots.

  • Optional toppings like pecans, cinnamon, or oats can add flavor and crunch.

  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a full dessert experience.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently to maintain texture.

  • Can be made gluten-free using a compatible cake mix.

  • Perfect for potlucks, barbecues, or quick weeknight treats.
