Mom’s Peach Cobbler

This recipe has lived on Southern Bite since way back when.  Fortunately, as my blog has grown, so have my photography skills.  So, I decided to re-shoot this one to give you a better idea of just how delicious it is.  I left the step-by-step photos just as they were.  Y’all enjoy… 

Peach Cobbler being scooped from baking dishA few weekends ago, we were at my parents’ house for Sunday supper.  After her usual over-the-top spread, Mom presented several desserts.  Yes, I said several.  In addition to the amazing, expertly prepared Oreo cheesecake, this cobbler was something she “just threw together.”  Well, y’all know what an Oreo fan I am, but I have to say, this cobbler stole the show.  It is, by far, the BEST cobbler I’ve ever had.  Not to mention it’s ridiculously easy!

The trick here is to use a box of Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake Mix.  And while it’s not always the easiest to find, our local Wal-Mart almost always has it in stock, so hopefully you can find it close too.

Ingredients

  • 6 to 7 peaches depending on size (4 cups sliced)
  • 3 cups water
  • 3/4 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 (9-ounce) box Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
Directions
  1. Peel and slice peaches.
  2. Add peaches to a medium sized pot and add water and 1/2 cup sugar.  Cook over medium-low heat until peaches are soft (10 to 15 minutes).  
  3. Remove from heat and strain peaches into a greased 9X13 baking dish.  Add 1/2 cup of liquid remaining in pot over peaches.
  4. Sprinkle with boxed cake mix.  
  5. Top cake mix with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
  6. Using a butter knife, make swirls in baking dish to combine some of the dry ingredients with the peach juices below.
  7. Top with 1/4 cup melted butter.
  8. Bake in a 350°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until to top is golden brown and set.

    What if you can not find Jiffy Cake Mix anymore. What would you use?

      You could use an equal amount of another yellow cake mix.

    Hi Stacy,
    I made your moms peach cobbler a few weeks ago and it was great, as are all your other recipes I’ve tried. I’m making it again and the peaches I have are very ripe. Do I need to still heat them in the pan to get soft, since they’re already soft? Or maybe just not heat them as long? Thanks for the help!

      July 12, 2021 at 2:30 pm

      Thanks, Charlene! Yes, You can use canned peaches in juice and just skip the cooking step and use the peach juice with a little water added (if you need it) to replace the cooking liquid.

    I got some peaches to make this cobbler and they are already somewhat tender. Do I still need to cook them the 10-15 minutes, or just long enough for the sugar to coat them? I really enjoy your recipes, thank you for sharing them!!

    Your peach cobbler looks good, but I prefer a cobbler with a thick, syrupiness to it. I don’t care for a dry cobbler. Do you happen to have a recipe for one like that or know how I can make one like that?

    I’ve made my family’s peach cobbler recipe for over 40 years but was intrigued by this one’s use of Jiffy cake mix, which I use in lots of different recipes. Made it today and we really enjoyed it. Cooking the peaches made it extra juicy & the topping had a great crunch. You can teach an old and/or experienced cook new tricks! Thanks!

    Stacey, would you boil frozen peaches, or just let them thaw and then treat them as if they were canned? I don’t want to soften them up so much they turn to mush. This sounds so wonderful I can’t wait to try it.

    Reply
    • Stacey

      June 12, 2018 at 12:35 pm

      I think I might just cook them until thawed and tender – that way you’ll still have the juice to use.

    My mom always made this. She mixed up the Jiffy Cake mix first, and put it in the bottom of a glass dish, then dumped the peaches on top of the cake mix. As it baked, the crust rose to the top. It was always AMAZING!

    My husband makes a similar cobbler in a cast iron dutch oven and cooks it over the fire pit:

    2 large cans of fruit-peaches, cocktail, etc.-drain and pour into the bottom of pot
    cover it with a box of yellow cake mix and pour in 1/2-1 cup Sprite-7Up on top
    Sprinkle with cinnamon and a few pats of butter.
    Has to cook at least an hour…a smoky strange flavor that has you coming back for another bite then another until you are hooked…delish with vanilla ice cream on top!

      I would drain the peaches and then use 1/2 cup of the drained syrup in place of the liquid from boiling them in the recipe. Enjoy!
