Simple Peach Cobbler

by Samuel Syphrett



Ingredients:
1 can Peach Pie Filling
1 can Peaches (Drained)
½ stick Butter
1 box of Yellow Cake Mix
~ ¼ cup of Sprite (or other carbonated drink)

Directions:
Dump drained can of peaches and peach pie filling into bottom of 12" Dutch oven and spread out evenly around the bottom of the oven.  Pour yellow cake mix on top of the peaches.  DO NOT MIX.  Drizzle Sprite evenly over the yellow cake mix surface.  DO NOT MIX.  Cut the half stick of butter into small squares (about 8) and distribute them evenly over the yellow cake mix surface.  DO NOT MIX.  Place lid on top of Dutch oven.  Place 14 briquettes on top of the lid, lining the outside edge.  Place 10 briquettes on bottom of Dutch oven.  Rotate lid every 15 minutes, for 30-45 minutes or until a toothpick poked into center of cake comes out clean.

Note:
Do not mix at any time during the layering procedure or after.  The addition of Sprite to the mixture allows extra bubbles to rise to the surface during the cooking process, leaving the finished product a dense cake consistency.  The more liquid there is in a cobbler the longer it'll take to cook.

Variation:
For an extra sugar rush, sprinkle about a ¼ cup of brown sugar over the butter/sprite/yellow cake mix surface.

  1. It is a great recipe and was really easy to do. The brown sugar on the top was a fantastic touch. I was worried when I just poured the dry mix on top but it turned out great!

  2. This might be obvious to others, but make sure you use Unsalted butter!! Doesn't taste as good with salted butter.

  3. Tried this out last friday. I couldnt find peach pie filling and didn't want to make it so I substituted canned apple pie filling, and it still worked! Tasted pretty good, i should have cooked it a bit longer but its a great recipe!
