Ingredients

20 oz frozen peaches 2 bags
1 box white cake mix
12-14 oz Sprite Sierra Mist, 7-Up or other lemon lime soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Place both bags of peaches (still frozen) in a single layer in bottom of prepared pan.
Sprinkle cake mix evenly over peaches.
Pour soda over cake mix making sure to soak every bit of the top. It’s a good idea to pour some of it over the top then use a tablespoon to put remaining soda on spots where the cake mix wasn’t covered.
Let sit 5 minutes.
Place in oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. It is done when a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Make sure to keep the toothpick above the fruit filling to get an accurate reading.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a cobbler and a crisp?

Basically, it is the topping that makes the difference. Both are a deep dish baked fruit dessert with the cobbler sporting a topping of a thick biscuit, pie crust or, in this case, a cake mix. The crisp is adorned with a lighter, crispy crunchy topping usually made with oats.

Is it necessary to peel my peaches before adding to this cobbler?

No, it is really up to you. When using frozen, you will add as is but, if using fresh, you can opt to leave the skin on or off. The skin will soften as it bakes and tastes just as delicious as the peach flesh.

If I want to remove the skin, if there an easy way?

Absolutely! Just boil water in a large pot and gently lower the peaches into the boiling water. Let them sit for about 1 minute then remove to a bowl of ice water for 1-2 minutes. At this point, you should be able to pinch the skin lightly and it will pull right off.

How do I know if the cobbler is done?

The topping will be a golden brown and no longer bubbling. With this cake mix variety, just insert a toothpick in the center and, if it comes out clean, it is done.
