Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the cobbler bakes evenly and gets that golden, crispy top we all love.

For canned or frozen plums, simply drain any excess liquid. This helps to reduce the amount of water in the cobbler Spread the peaches evenly in the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Mix the Topping
- In a medium bowl, mix each of the yellow cake mixture, cinnamon and sugar (if used). Stir well to blend the dry ingredients. You don’t need to add eggs or oil—this is the beauty of using cake mix! Once it’s mixed, pour the cake mix evenly over the peaches, covering them as best as you can.
Add the Butter
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mixture. The butter will soak in as it bakes, creating a rich, golden crust that’s both crispy and soft in the right places.
Bake the Cobbler
- Put the baking dish in the oven with caution Try to dry the heat and bake for 45-50 minutes. Keep an eye on it as it bakes—when the top is golden brown and bubbly, it's ready to come out. You’ll know it’s done when the cake topping has firmed up and lightly browned.
Let It Cool
- Once your cobbler is out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. This gives the juices time to settle, making it easier to serve.
