Ingredients

You’ll need just five basic ingredients:

4 cups peaches (fresh, canned, or frozen)
1 box yellow cake mix
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup milk (optional, for extra moisture)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish to prevent sticking and make serving easier.

Step 2: Prepare the Peaches

If you’re using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and slice them. For canned peaches, drain most of the syrup (leave a little for moisture). If using frozen peaches, thaw them slightly.

Spread the peaches evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. This layer will become soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized as it bakes.
