Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz / 425 g each) sliced peaches in juice or light syrup, drained slightly
  • 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) yellow cake mix (preferably Pillsbury)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Drain the canned peaches slightly, leaving a little juice to keep the cake moist. Spread the peaches evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without stirring.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. If using, add nutmeg and salt. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and stir until crumbly but moist.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture on top of the dry cake mix layer.
  6. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crispy and peach juices bubble around the edges. If browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

Drain peaches slightly to avoid soggy cake. The crumble topping should be chunky, not paste-like. Baking times may vary; start checking at 35 minutes. Let cool before serving for best texture. Optional additions include chopped nuts or a pinch of nutmeg. For gluten-free, use gluten-free cake mix and almond or oat flour. For vegan, substitute butter and cake mix accordingly.
