Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup, drained slightly but retaining some syrup
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

Let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain peaches lightly, leaving a couple tablespoons of syrup for moisture. If using fresh peaches, toss slices with lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar.
Arrange peaches evenly in a 9″x13″ baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until crumbly and evenly moistened without overmixing.
Sprinkle the cake topping evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and peach juices bubble around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
Cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken and meld flavors.
