Okay, okay. David is saying I can’t tell you it’s the best cobbler you’ve ever had. I’ll just tell you it’s the best cobbler he and I’ve ever had. (But if you have eaten a better one, you better be sending your girl Rach the recipe! Don’t hold out on me.)
Best Cobbler You’ve I’ve Ever Had
Serves 12
1 box yellow cake mix
1/3 cup butter
2 large eggs
29 ounces canned (or fresh!) peaches
8 ounces cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, butter, and 1 egg. Mix ingredients with fork until crumbly. Separate 1/2 cup of crumble for topping.
Spray a 9×13 glass dish with cooking spray. Using a spoon or your fingers, press remaining crumble into base of dish.
Bake for 10 minutes. While crust bakes, slice peaches into small, 1 inch pieces.
In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, 1 egg, and vanilla until creamy. Layer peaches on top of baked crust. Spread cream cheese mixture on top of peaches.
Top with reserved crumbs and bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 additional minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream. I didn’t even mention how versatile this dish is. Try with other fruits – perhaps blackberries, lemon pie filling, or something crazy like pineapple. (Shout out to pafurkin for the ideas down in the comments section.)

I just made this today. I absolutely loved it and so did my husband. I did tweek the recipe a bit. I used the yellow cake mix but I added cinnamon,nutmeg and vanilla. I also used the juice from the peaches. Thank you for sharing
I’ve made this twice. Once with peaches and another with peaches and blackberries. This recipe is simple and totally awesome. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe!
Hi, Im anxious to try this! quick question- Should the butter be cold and cut in pieces or room temp and just all mixed in or melted???
Room temperature is great.
Yum!! I tweaked this recipe sooo much only because I didn’t have all of the ingredients. Instead of peaches, I used mango pulp. Mixed the pulp along with some cream cheese, sugar, egg, plain yogurt, and a tiny bit of vanilla extract. Turned out a bit more liquidified than I wanted. (Don’t know how I can thicken it, any suggestions?) but I poured it over the baked 1st layer then added the rest of the crumbs on top. For a newbie baker making all the tweaks, the ‘cobbler’ turned out pretty awesome!! I will come back to this recipe though when I have all the ingredients. *adding to my recipe list*
Xoxo,
Someonesomewhere.
Rachel, is that vanilla ice cream added to your cobbler in the picture? I was going to ask if you used Cool Whip or whipped cream to top it off but it looks more like ice cream melting on top of the cobbler.
Heather…you suggested adding peach or apricot brandy but didn’t say how much..Can you tell us how much?
Dee..how much peach schnapps?
Dwayne..adding chopped pecans and a touch of cinnamon sounds so yummy!
For the person who suggested using peach pie filling, did you add any additional spices. Does the peach pie filling come in Lite variety? I have used the Lite versions of cherry pie filling and prefer it. Will check the Comstock website.
Saw your picture for the peach cobbler on pinterest and bought 2 cans of peaches and never printed the recipe off. Duh! I just found this again and printed off the recipe and read all the comments and suggestions. I will print this recipe off and bookmark it. I like the idea of the peach pie filling being used. And DEE, how much peach scnapps did you put into this? I had a fuzzy navel before I went to bed last evening because I was so exhausted and I slept good, with the exception of DH coming in and asking for a pain pill. I think I will print some of the comments off with helpful tips or jot them down on back of recipe that I printed out. Need to add the cake mix to my grocery list.
Yumm. Just made this using sugar free cake mix by pillsbury & sliced peaches by Libby’s that are no sugar added made with Splenda & replaced sugar with Splenda turned out real good I used the syrup from one jar & half another jar of peaches. Thank you for this recipe hope this will help some other diabetics to have such a yummy dessert.
Thanks for the recipe. Nicki, I use Spenda in all my recipes now. My husband is diabetic and we love the Splenda and the Pillsbury Sugar Free Cake Mixes. They are delicious and we can’t tell the difference. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Making this now with peaches and dark cherries. I also am using greek yogurt instead of cream cheese :) Thx!
DARK CHERRIES. yum
Ah, never mind, I just found the answer in some comments back in February. Sorry, and thanks!
Looks delicious! Sorry if you answer this somewhere else and I missed it, but do you use cold butter, softened butter, or melted butter? Also, I’m assuming you drain the peaches and soften the cream cheese. Is that right?
tried the peach and it was incredible , even impressed my husbands grandmother who is a southern cook , right now it is in the oven and i have used apricots this time !!!
It looked like the peaches were drained although the recipe didn’t specify. Next time I make it I will use the juice because it’s quite dry, more like a crumble than cobbler and I’d be sure to lessen the sugar and use “lite” peaches because it was very sweet although I used less than the 1/3 cup sugar called for. The crust was nice. It would be good to add some chopped pecans to it.
This sounds great! I’m hoping to use it with fresh fruits – especially local peaches… i’m guessing they dont have to be cooked at all ahead of time, since no one has mentioned it? thanks..
making this right now….smells delicious!!!
Not usally a fan of chaning recipes, but very glad I did. Just using what I had on hand. I tried with chocolate cake and frozen strawberries. On Word. My new favorite. Will be making the peach for Easter not sharing the chocolate.
Looks yummy I’m going to make for Easter , I know from the ingredients you can’t go wrong. Thank you!
Has anyone tried it with peach pie filling?
I’m sure it will work just as well . Sounds like a good idea.
I use canned peach pie filling in my cobblers and it is wonderful. It is all ready to use right out of the can. Sometimes I add some apricot jam, about 1/4 cup and some almond extract to make it even tastier. I’m sure other canned fruit pie fillings would work just as well.
I made mine with frozen peaches, plums, apricots and blueberries….turned out great!
This recipe was so easy to make. I added some extra frozen peaches and it turned out great. It was a hit with the whole family. I will definitely be making this again.
So it’s in the oven right now, I can’t wait to try it. I did try a large pinch of the crumble (without cooking it, yes I eat raw cookie dough and cake batter) it’s so yummy! I had to stop myself from a huge spoonful! I’m not going to lie, I left some in the bowl when scooping it on the top so I could eat it on the way to the sink! Mmm it’s starting to smell divine in here!
LOVE this recipe! THANKS!
I am using a pineapple cake mix and using pineapple chunks. I am not a peach fan so here I go.
Could I use a gluten free Betty Crocker yellow cake mix instead and follow the recipe the same with the same results?
Yes!
This sounds sooooo yummy! Thanks for sharing!
I have this in the oven right now got the recipe off Pinterest…it looks Delish, and after reading all the comments I am sure it will be. I did add an extra can of peaches didn’t look peachy enough for me. My crust crumbled just fine and I melted my butter a little so it was 1/2 way liquid 1/2 solid…it worked fine. I can’t wait to serve it to the family tonight. Thanks for the recipe, I will have to check out others here on your blog, I love a recipe that doesn’t cost much to make, is easy, and good!!
~Lela~
I am wondering how far in advance can I make this? If I am bringing it to a lunch, can I make it the night before or should I make it the morning of? Thanks :)
I would recommend the day of. It could be refrigerated, but it’s ideal to serve it warm.
Ok thank you :)
Made this waiting to cool. Would also use more peaches. I would mix the peaches w/cream cheese mixture (easier to top crumble topping)
Mine didn’t crumble, any suggestions?
I made this! Forgot to prevalent the crust , so I just added time at the end and broiled to get a golden color for a few seconds. Thanks for the recipe!!!!
anxious to try this….making it today…:-) thanks…
How long did you bake crust b4 adding peaches?
Anxious to try.
Kathy
10 minutes.
I came across this via Pinterest and I’m so glad that I did. I made this last night and it was so good! My husband adored it, and had seconds and my 7 year old daughter asked for it for breakfast this morning. Haha. Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe. I will definitely make it again…and soon, if my husband has his way.
Thanks for sharing !!!! We loved the cobbler. Going to try other fruits.
I just made this and it smells divine! Thank you for the recipe!
I added crushed pecans to the top of mine for the second 30 minute baking time! :)
I have been dying to try this recipe, since I first saw it on pinterest.
It’s in the oven now! I am sure it will be the best pach cobbler ever!
I tried your cobbler tonight, My parents were eating with us so I had to improvise, I used a Sugar Free Yellow cake mix and Splenda Brown sugar and added cinnamon, I will add a little more liquid next time as mine was a little dry but it had a fabulous taste. Thanks for the recipe,,,,it’s definitely a do over.
This is truly is the best peach cobbler I have ever had! My roommates ask me to make it all the time now lol and it is so easy to put together, the only thing I had a problem with was over mixing the cake mix with the butter and egg, my butter was too soft and it didn’t stay in crumble form so I kinda had to spread the 1/2 cup crumbs onto the cream cheese layer, so annoying but that was my fault so just be careful! Otherwise it was AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing:)
That’s great. You’re welcome!
I made it last night with a White cake mix and cherry pie filling and it was delish! As u can see I’m a little obsessed with this recipe but it’s so simple and good I love anything I can plop ice cream on top of lol.
Well I bought all the ingredients to make this tonight, so I’m excited to try it!
Is the liquid used in the peaches or drained?
Thanks
Either way is fine. I drain mine, but others have commented they like leaving it in.
I made this and it was great, but a friend offered one tip I thought I would pass along. She suggested adding a little peach or apricot brandy in with peaches to boost flavor. I think I will be trying that next time. :-)
I added peach schnapps….divine!
Made this tonight it was easy and tasted wonderful husband loved it, I used strawberries, did you melt your butter or just let it come to room temp,I melted mine and it ascent as crumble as it looked in pic but still turned out great thanks, will make this again
I let mine come to room temp. Glad it worked out!
Wow oh wow…..this is OUTSTANDING!!!! Easy and yummy…what more could you want??? Thank you for the post!!!!!
I did mine at room temp also…it look just like the picture.
How about topping it with chopped pecans and touch of cinnamon while baking, skip the sugar, makes a good crusty topping. I will try the extra ingredients you add sounds really good, Thanks, Dwayne
I am going to try Dwaynes Idea….sounds yummy!
Cobbler in the oven now! Pefect treat to celebrate Valentine’s Day!
Thxs for the recipe! I am not a cook/ baker of any kind. This was so super easy and it turned out great! My family loved it. I will try with a white cake mix and other kinds of fruit.
You’re welcome. That’s great to hear. Keep cooking! :)
I made this last night for a group of 19. I doubled the recipe and it was a huge hit!
Great! Wow, I’m impressed by cooking for that big a crowd.
Can you use white cake mix instead? I’m afraid to try.
I bet it would turn out fine. It’d taste slightly different but it’d still be good. I tried this tonight. My family loved it. I accidentally put 2 eggs in the crust so it wasn’t exactly crumbly and I only used 15 oz of peaches. That’s what I get for not reading the instructions. Still mighty tasty but I’ll make sure to follow th directions next time.
Yes, it’d still work.
