Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, sliced thinly
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel the peaches using a peeler or blanching in boiling water, then pit and slice into ½-inch thick slices.
- Toss the sliced peaches in a mixing bowl with ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Layer the peaches evenly in an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish, pouring any accumulated juices on top.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without mixing.
- Distribute the thin pats of cold butter evenly over the cake mix, covering as much surface as possible.
- Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes to thicken the juices.
- Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
If edges brown too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Reduce sugar if peaches are very sweet. For gluten-free, use gluten-free cake mix. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and coconut milk-based ice cream. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. Do not stir after layering to maintain texture.
