The best part? It's so easy! Wait- no, the best part is eating it!

This peach cobbler with fresh peaches is the quintessential dessert of late summer. Nothing can match the flavor of a perfectly ripened peach—the juices-running-down-your-chin kind of peaches, the glorious fruit whose color is its name, peach. A fresh ripe peach is a treat in itself, but when you want something more, try this quick and easy 4-ingredient peach cobbler!

This fresh peach cobbler is so elegant in its simplicity. The dessert stars fresh, perfectly ripened peaches sliced into a baking dish and sprinkled ever so lightly with brown sugar. All that’s left to do is spread a dry vanilla cake mix (yes! A dry cake mix) evenly over the fruit and dot the entire surface generously with thin pats of butter.

Pop it in the oven and let the peaches release their amazing juice. The butter and cake mix combine to make a fresh peach cobbler with a tender crust and a slightly crispy top. While it’s still a little warm, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you have bliss in a bowl. 

How To Make Fresh Peach Cobbler With Just Four Ingredients

There’s something so comforting about a homemade peach cobbler with fresh peaches—the kind of dessert that says “summer’s here.”

Peel and slice about five or six cups of fresh peaches into a sprayed or greased 13″ x 9″ baking pan. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of brown sugar evenly over the fruit.

Now spread a whole box of dry vanilla cake mix over all the peaches. You can use yellow cake, too, if that’s what you have on the shelf! Finally, slice 3/4 cup of butter (real butter, please) into thin pats and dot the pats all over the dry cake mix—boom, peach cobbler, ready to pop into a 350-degree oven.

Bake it for about forty or forty-five minutes. It should be a medium golden brown when done. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time so it doesn’t get too brown. All ovens are different. Next time I make this, I may add some sliced almonds on top of my yummy peach cobbler with fresh peaches. I bet I’d enjoy the added crunch!

Fresh Peaches Are Good For Your Health Too

Here’s what you get from one gloriously ripe peach. One medium peach has about 50 calories, no cholesterol, and no sodium. It provides 6% of your daily vitamin A needs and 15% of your daily vitamin C needs. You’ll also benefit from vitamins E and K, niacin, folate, iron, choline, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, and copper.

Do your body a favor; eat more fruit! Federal guidelines suggest that adults should eat about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of fruit per day, while the American Heart Association recommends 4 to 5 servings. Less than ten percent of adults in America meet these guidelines.
