Cake Mix Cobbler is a super simple, crowd-pleasing dessert. It combines store-bought cake mix with fresh or canned fruit for a quick, soft, gooey cobbler.
🍓 Ingredients
Fruit layer (choose one or mix):
- 4 cups fresh or canned fruit (peaches, berries, apples, or cherries)
- 1/4–1/2 cup sugar (depending on fruit sweetness)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Cake layer:
- 1 box yellow or white cake mix (around 15–16 oz)
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- Optional: 1/4 cup milk or water if cake mix is very dry

3. Add cake mix

If you want, I can give a quick microwave version that’s ready in 10 minutes or a desi-style twist with condensed milk and cardamom.
