Ingredient Notes
Please check the recipe card below for a detailed, printable ingredient list.
PEACHES – We use three cans of peaches in light syrup, two drained and one undrained, to balance sweetness and moisture. Adding fresh peaches is optional but enhances flavor and texture.
CAKE MIX – We use yellow cake mix for a quick and easy topping that bakes into a delicious, crumbly crust. You can also use white cake mix or spice cake mix for different flavor variations. White cake mix will give the cobbler a lighter flavor, while spice cake mix will add a warm, spiced element.
BUTTER – We use unsalted butter, melted and browned, to add a rich, nutty flavor to the cake mix.
GRANOLA – We choose crunchy granola for added texture and a hint of sweetness. It brings a delightful crunch to every bite.

Planning and Leftovers
STORE – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
FREEZE – Freeze the cobbler in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
REHEAT – Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or place the entire dish in a preheated oven at 350º Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
Recipe Success Tips
DRAIN – Draining two cans of peaches ensures the cobbler isn’t too watery, giving it the perfect texture.
BROWN BUTTER – Browning the butter adds a deep, nutty flavor that enhances the overall taste of the cobbler.
EVEN LAYER – Spread the cake mix mixture evenly over the peaches to ensure consistent baking and a golden crust.
FRESH PEACHES – Adding fresh peaches provides a burst of flavor and texture, making the cobbler even more enjoyable.

Love the granola. Never seen before. The cake does need a crunch, it makes it taste better. I usually add 1 cup chopped pecans for my crunch. Anxious to try the granola. Yum. Yum. TY
