To make a Peach Cobbler Dump Cake, you need these simple items: - 4 cups fresh or canned peaches (sliced, if fresh) - 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust if peaches are sweet) - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz) - 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks, melted) - 1 cup brown sugar (packed) - 1 cup chopped pecans (optional) - Vanilla ice cream (for serving) Peaches can vary in sweetness. If your peaches are very sweet, cut back on the sugar. Start with ½ cup of granulated sugar. Taste and adjust as needed. You want a balance that lets the peach flavor shine through without being too sugary. This way, you keep the dish light and refreshing. You can add a few extra touches to enhance the flavor. Chopped pecans add a nice crunch and nutty taste. You can also mix in a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth. If you love spice, try adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. Each optional ingredient can make your dump cake unique and reflect your taste. First, gather all your ingredients. You need four cups of peaches. You can use fresh or canned peaches. For fresh peaches, slice them first. If you use canned, drain the liquid well. Next, grab your sugar and cinnamon. Measure one cup of sugar and one teaspoon of cinnamon. This mix will bring out the peach flavor. Now, let’s put it all together! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Place the prepared peaches in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the peaches. Toss them gently to coat. Then, pour the peach mix into your baking dish. Spread it evenly across the bottom. In a separate bowl, take the yellow cake mix. If you like pecans, chop one cup and add them to the mix. Now, sprinkle this cake mix over the peach layer. Make sure to cover the peaches fully. Drizzle your melted butter on top. Remember, don’t stir! The cake will form a crust while baking. Finally, add brown sugar on top for extra sweetness. Place the baking dish in your preheated oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Keep an eye on it; the top should be golden brown and bubbly. Once it’s done, take it out and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. This helps the flavors come together. Now, you’re ready to serve your delicious peach cobbler dump cake. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! For the full recipe, check here.

Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh or canned peaches (sliced, if fresh)

1 cup granulated sugar (adjust if peaches are sweet)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks, melted)

1 cup brown sugar (packed)

1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    If using fresh peaches, slice them and place them in a large mixing bowl. If using canned, drain excess liquid and add peaches to the bowl.

      Sprinkle the peaches with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat and distribute the sugar and cinnamon evenly.

        Pour the peach mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

          In a separate bowl, combine the box of yellow cake mix with the chopped pecans (if using). Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the peaches, covering them completely.

            Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Do not stir the mixture; the cake will form a crust as it bakes.

              Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the melted butter and cake mix for added sweetness and crunch.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.

                  Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
