Print Recipe

A quick and comforting dessert featuring juicy peaches topped with a buttery brown sugar pecan crumble, perfect for cozy occasions and easy to prepare with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in juice or light syrup, drained (or about 4 large fresh peaches peeled and sliced)
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix (Duncan Hines recommended)
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Drain canned peaches thoroughly and toss with vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Toast pecans on a baking sheet in the oven for 5-7 minutes until fragrant and slightly darker; watch closely to avoid burning.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine yellow cake mix, brown sugar, and toasted pecans. Pour melted butter over the mixture and stir until evenly moistened.
  5. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches without packing it down.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
  8. Let the cake rest for about 15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

Drain peaches well to avoid soggy cake. Toast pecans to enhance flavor and crunch. Do not over-stir crumble topping; use melted butter for even crispiness. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Let cake cool before serving to thicken juices. Variations include using fresh peaches, other fruits, nut-free options, or gluten-free cake mix.
