What Ingredients do I need?

For the WW version of this recipe, you can sub a - sugar free cake mix and use light butter to make a lighter version of this recipe. The points per serving will be 7 per serving. I added the WW ingredients you need after the | in the recipe ingredients.
- Canned Peaches - If you don’t like canned peaches use other pie filling like cherries, blueberries, or apple filling.
- Cake Mix - Butter cake mix is preferred for this recipe because to me it resembles a crumble topping more than a box of vanilla cake mix would.
- Butter - The butter will melt in the oven no matter what you decide to do to it before preparing it to go into the oven. I’ve seen this recipe made using melted butter or cubed butter. Both will work.
Substitution Tips
- Add cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake mix for a warm, cozy vibe.
- Use white or spice cake mix for a fun twist.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, use peaches in juice instead of heavy syrup.
- Make it WW-friendly by using sugar-free cake mix and peaches in 100% juice, and swap the butter for a light alternative or reduce the amount.
How to make Peach Cobbler
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2: Pour peaches into a baking dish. I used a 9X9 inch baking dish.

Step 3: Sprinkle cake mix on top and add pats of butter all over the top of the crust.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 50 minutes.
Blackstone Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low heat (you want gentle heat under the skillet or pan).
- Grease your skillet with a bit of butter or nonstick spray.
- Pour in the peaches, juice and all.
- Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the peaches (don’t stir!).
- Slice butter thinly and place evenly across the top OR melt it first and drizzle it on.
- Cover with a dome lid or tent loosely with foil. This traps heat and helps bake the top.
- Cook for 30–40 minutes, checking occasionally. Rotate the skillet if needed to prevent hot spots. It’s done when the top is golden and bubbly.
