Ingredients
- 1 large can (29 oz) of sliced peaches in heavy syrup (or 2 standard cans)
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, thinly sliced or melted
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the peaches and syrup into the dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar, if using.
- Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir.
- Distribute the butter slices over the top, covering as much as possible.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly.
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For a crunchier topping, sprinkle chopped pecans or granola on top before baking.
- Using fresh peaches? Toss them with sugar and lemon juice to mimic canned syrup.
- Avoid stirring the layers—this helps keep the topping fluffy and crisp.
