My recipe for peach cobbler with cake mix is a delicious dessert made with just a few simple ingredients. You won’t believe how easy this dump and bake dessert is to make. Don’t miss my tips below so that you can make the ultimate peachy dessert.
This is one of our favorite desserts to make, especially in the summer. We can’t seem to get enough of peaches!
I have tried many different recipes and ways to make a delicious, easy peach cobbler using a cake mix and after many attempts, this is the one that stands above the rest.
The key to this recipe is using canned peach pie filling. I know, it’s kind of cheating using a pre-made filling, but it gives the perfect consistency and flavor to this cobbler recipe.
Another important note is the butter. I recommend trying to cover most of the cobbler with pats of butter so there are no dry spots.
These two things really make this peach cobbler, or peach dump cake, stand out.

- Butter – You can use unsalted or unsalted butter for this recipe.
- Peach pie filling – The nice thing about using canned peach pie filling is it already has a thick base so you don’t need any extra cornstarch.

Heather’s recipe tips
- Be sure to spread the peaches in an even layer in the baking dish. Tip: If you are serving to younger kids, try cutting the peaches into smaller pieces before adding to the cake mix. This makes it a little easier to eat.
- Make sure to slice the butter thin to cover the entire cobbler. You want to make sure you cover as much as you can so there are no dry spots.
- If you like a little extra spice, use a butter pecan cake mix instead of yellow cake mix.

I rate this desert number one. It’s quick and easy to make. My family loved it. I really made this a long time ago. The recipe have been out for awhile. Loved it.
I had a hard time getting the top done. It was doughy underneath but almost burnt on top. I kept it in an extra 15 minutes. What did I do wrong?
