Easy Stovetop Peach Cobbler

Recipe View Prepare the peaches: Drain approximately half of the juice from the canned peaches, retaining the fruit and remaining juice in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Sweeten and spice: Sprinkle the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the peaches are well-coated. (1 minute)

Recipe View Add the cake mix: Evenly distribute the yellow cake mix over the sugared peaches, creating a smooth, uniform layer. Avoid stirring at this stage. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Dot with butter: Distribute the cold, cubed butter evenly over the top of the cake mix layer. This will create a golden-brown, crispy topping as it melts. (1 minute)

Recipe View Simmer and steam: Cover the saucepan tightly with a lid and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. Once you observe steam escaping from under the lid, reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, undisturbed, for 10 minutes. Resist the temptation to lift the lid during this time to ensure even cooking. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Rest and meld: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to stand, with the lid still on, for a further 15 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and the cobbler to fully set. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Serve: Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
