Peach Almond Cake Mix Cobbler is the perfect blend of simplicity and flavor — it's the kind of dessert you can whip up without breaking a sweat. With the sweetness of juicy peaches and the nuttiness of almonds, this cobbler is a delightful treat for any occasion.
The star of this dessert is, of course, the peaches. Canned peaches provide a consistent sweetness and texture, making them a convenient choice. The yellow cake mix forms the base of our cobbler, offering a rich, buttery flavor. Melting unsalted butter ensures that you can control the saltiness and brings everything together with its luscious texture. Sliced almonds add a delightful crunch and a mild nutty flavor that complements the peaches perfectly. A touch of almond extract enhances the nuttiness, giving the dessert a more rounded flavor. Finally, brown sugar adds a hint of caramel-like sweetness that deepens the overall flavor profile.
This cobbler is heavenly when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a little extra indulgence, drizzle some caramel sauce on top. It also pairs beautifully with a light, fruity dessert wine.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly. While the oven is heating, take one can of peaches and drain it, but be sure to reserve that juice as you'll need it. Leave the second can undrained — we want all that juicy goodness in our cobbler.
Grab a 9x13 inch baking dish and give it a good grease to avoid any sticking. Then, combine both cans of peaches in the dish, including the juice from the undrained can and the reserved juice from the drained one. Add in the almond extract and brown sugar, and give it all a good stir to make sure everything is well mixed.
Next, sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the peach mixture. You don’t need to stir it in; just spread it out to cover the peaches. Then, drizzle the melted butter over the top. Try to cover as much of the cake mix as possible for a nice, even bake.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top to finish it off. Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and you can see the peach mixture bubbling up around the edges.
Once baked, let it cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors come together and make it easier to serve.
