Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup, drained slightly but retaining some syrup
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drain peaches lightly, leaving a couple tablespoons of syrup for moisture. If using fresh peaches, toss slices with lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar.
- Arrange peaches evenly in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour in melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until crumbly and evenly moistened without overmixing.
- Sprinkle the cake topping evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and peach juices bubble around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
- Cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken and meld flavors.
Notes
Use canned peaches in syrup for juiciest results. Melt butter before mixing to ensure a crisp topping. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for best experience. Can substitute gluten-free cake mix and dairy-free butter for dietary needs.
