Ingredient Notes

Substitutions and Variations

STEP 4: In a small bowl combined the melted butter and vanilla.

Expert Tips
- Use an oven thermometer. Most ovens run either hot or cold. Using an oven thermometer ensures that you are baking your brownies at the perfect temperature.
- Distribute the cake mix evenly. Try to spread the cake mix evenly around the top of the peach mixture so that it bakes evenly.
- Let the cobbler cool for 5-10 minutes. Allowing the cobbler to cool for a bit before eating lets the filling thicken up a bit and it will be easier to eat.
Recipe FAQ's
For sure! You'll need to adjust the recipe a bit, but it is a simple fix. Instead of the canned peaches you will use 4 ½ cups of fresh sliced peaches and ¾ cups of granulated sugar.
You can. I would keep the peach filling the same but just add less cake mix on top.
