Fresh Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix

What Is The Difference Between Cobbler and Crisp?

What’s Needed for This Fresh Peach Cobbler?
To make this easy peach cobbler recipe with cake mix, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Fresh peaches – freestone peaches are best for baking and they should be peeled and sliced
- Butter – unsalted, adds richness to the filling and blends with the cake mix to create the golden cobbler topping
- Cinnamon – adds flavor
- Cornstarch – thickens the peaches
- Brown sugar – sweetens the peaches and adds richness
- Yellow cake mix – I used to say white or yellow cake mix, but it needs to be yellow all the way
The measurements for all the ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.
