Easy Dump Peach Cobbler Dessert

This dump peach cobbler with cake mix requires just 4 ingredients! With whipped cream and vanilla ice cream on top, it is the perfect easy dessert you’ve been dreaming about. Similar to our fresh peach dump cake but made with canned peaches and cake mix this time so it is faster.

Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches and Cake Mix

You could easily eat this peach cobbler dump cake naked too. I mean without anything on top but if we’re going to go all out then let’s not stop at the cake shall we. Using frozen fruit I’d opt to make a Bisquick peach cobbler because you only need 5 ingredients to throw it together. No boxed cake mix necessary, just the “yellow box” you normally make pancakes with.

Yes we do love using fresh fruit like our air fryer peaches recipe here, but they aren’t always available year round. Canned is second best.

Peach Dump Cake Cobbler

Just like our cherry pineapple dump cake recipe you only need a few cans of this and a box of that to throw this easy cobbler style dessert together. After that it is up to you what you’d like to add in or on top to jazz it up even more.

If you’ve never made one of these throw together desserts, a dump cake recipe is extremely versatile. Beyond the pie filling, cake mix and butter you can swap the type of fruit used and flavors you love. Traditionally this is what it looks like once it is prepared.

Ingredients

1. Box of cake mix – we used yellow cake mix but you could use just about any flavor, spice cake mix would be wonderful too
2. Peach pie filling – in a can
   1. if you want to use fresh or frozen fruit follow our recipe linked at the top of this post
3. Can of sliced canned peaches – with the juice, you just dump it right in (I sliced the peaches into smaller pieces right in the can just so they would spread out a bit more)
4. Melted butter or dairy free alternative
5. Any additional toppings – nuts, oats
6. 9×13″ baking dish – I prefer glass
7. Ice cream if you want to top it with that – and you should……

Now you may have made our peach cobbler recipe made with canned peaches and loved it. This one is more dense like a cake instead of just the crumble on top. Here are a few questions you might have before you get going.

What else can you add?

• Crushed nuts – honey roasted are great
• Oats – old fashioned, not instant, to make it a bit more like a cobbler texture
• Raisins – I don’t know about you but I seriously think I could put them in almost every dessert for added flavor but totally up to you

Here is a quick step by step for our dump peach cobbler so you get the idea. Yes it’s named dump for a reason. There is literally No stirring involved.

How are dump cake recipes different?

• They don’t rise as you’d expect a cake to do
• They’re very moist
• Dump cakes are best eaten right out of the oven – my opinion obviously but I’ve made dozens of them
• You don’t follow the directions on the back of the cake mix box
• They are egg free – Important to know for those who cannot have eggs but want a yummy dessert. Yes there are some exceptions, but most do not use eggs.

Here is how ours turned out when I took it out of the oven. Yes it’s a bit messy and wonderful. Don’t worry if you feel like it looks too wet. It is just right when the middle is golden brown like you see here.

Ok so you could use any flavor dry mix you wanted but really yellow or white is best. Secondly I would choose peach if you can find it or maybe lemon?? It’s almost as easy as our 3 ingredient dump cake but with one added can of fruit.

How to Make Canned Peach Cobbler

• You need two different cans, one is fruit in a pie filling sauce and the other is in a sweetened sauce. Both are necessary for the liquid to bake the dry cake mix.
• You’re just going to preheat oven to 350 degrees and melt your stick of butter. Then layer all the ingredients in the order I share below in the recipe card.
• Make sure everything is spread evenly but do not stir.
• Serving warm is the best way. I allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to allow it to settle, then top with ice cream.
• You are going to just scoop it. No cutting is required, that is impossible with dump cakes so don’t even try.
• It’s not about that when it comes to this warm dessert. It’s about the fruit and flavors inside. You’re good….just dig in.

How to Make Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

1. Spray 13×9 pan with non stick spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Pour can of pie filling on bottom of dish, then sprinkle cake mix powder on top of that evenly across the pan.
3. Sprinkle oats and nuts on top if you want to add those.
4. Melt your butter and pour that across your mixture evenly. Use a knife to slice the peaches in the can into smaller pieces
   • (just do this in the can, they are very soft and will cut easily with a butter knife).
5. Pour this across the top of your cake mix evenly.
6. Bake for about 50 minutes or until the top, cake part, is lightly golden brown and no longer looks wet in the middle.

Allow to sit for at least 10 min. once you take it out so it can settle and thicken up. Best if served immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
