Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel and slice the peaches into roughly 1/4-inch thick pieces, about 6 cups total.
- Toss peaches with granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without stirring.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the cake mix layer.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire surface.
- Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes until edges bubble and topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
If topping is too wet or not crisping, increase oven temperature by 10 degrees for the last 5 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning. Let cake cool to thicken peach juices before serving. For gluten-free, use gluten-free yellow cake mix. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free cake mix.
