Ingredients for this cake mix peach cobbler

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this 4 ingredient cobbler. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

• Canned peaches in light syrup- You will need two can of peaches in light syrup for this recipe. I usually like to slice my canned peaches in half so they’re thinner but you don’t have to. Make sure to use one can with the syrup and one can without the syrup
• Butter– You can use either salted or unsalted butter for this cobbler.

You will notice the top part of the peach crumble crisp up and turn golden brown. That’s a big sign that your peach cobbler is ready to be pulled out of the oven.

How to serve peach cobbler?

Peach cobbler i so so good on its own but it you’re trying to step it up and make this dessert extra special, you can:

• Top it with a scoop or two or vanilla or butter pecan ice cream.
• Drizzle a little salted caramel on top.
• Add a plop of whipped cream for a fresh finish.
• Top it with some chopped candied nuts, I love adding candied pecans to it!

How long does peach cobbler last?

Peach cobbler will last for a few days if stored properly. To store your cobbler place it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You can also freeze your peach cobbler in an airtight container for up to 4 months. Just let it thaw overnight before enjoying it!

Should a cobbler be eaten hot or cold?

It honestly depends. Traditionally people enjoy their crumble warm with a scoop or cold ice cream to make your taste buds have the experience of a lifetime.

But, me being a weird human being, I love having it cold. I feel like the flavors and the textures are much better when my cobbler is cold. Plus during the hot summer days, who doesn’t love cold desserts!

Tell me in the comments if you enjoy cold or hot cobblers! 🙂
