Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches packed in juice or light syrup (or about 4 cups fresh sliced peaches)
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drain the canned peaches slightly. If using fresh peaches, toss them with lemon juice and vanilla extract in a bowl.
- Spread the peaches evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg (if using) over the peaches.
- Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches without stirring.
- Melt the unsalted butter and pour it evenly over the cake mix layer.
- Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy and the peach juices are bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Do not stir the cake mix into the peaches to maintain a crispy topping. If the topping browns too quickly, tent with foil. Use unsalted butter melted gently to avoid browning. Drain excess peach juice to prevent sogginess. For gluten-free, use gluten-free yellow cake mix. For dairy-free, substitute butter with melted coconut oil or vegan butter.
