For this peach cobbler dump cake, you need: - 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced (or 2 cans of sliced peaches, drained) - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 cup self-rising flour - 1 cup whole milk - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Optional: Ice cream or whipped cream for serving Fresh peaches give this dessert a bright flavor. If you use canned peaches, make sure to drain them well. Measuring correctly is key. Use a dry measuring cup for flour and sugar. For milk, use a liquid measuring cup. When you melt the butter, let it cool a bit before mixing it in. This helps keep the batter light. When you slice fresh peaches, try to make the pieces even. This helps them cook evenly. Toss the peaches with sugar and cinnamon gently. This helps the flavors mix well. I love serving this dump cake warm. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top makes it extra special. You can also add whipped cream for a light touch. If you want, sprinkle some cinnamon on top for a nice finish. It adds a bit of flair and flavor! {{ingredient_image_1}} First, gather your peaches. You can use fresh peaches or canned ones. If using fresh, slice four cups of ripe peaches. If using canned, drain two cans of sliced peaches. In a mixing bowl, combine the peaches with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This step brings out the sweet flavor. Toss the peaches gently to coat them well. Next, spread the peaches evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. In a different bowl, mix 1 cup of self-rising flour with the remaining sugar (3/4 cup) and the last 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients together well. Now, add 1 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir all the ingredients until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy; that’s normal. Now it’s time to bake! Pour the batter over the peaches in the baking dish. Do not stir; just let the batter float on top of the peaches. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 45-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top turns golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Once baked, take it out and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This cooling time helps the flavors mix. Enjoy your delicious peach cobbler dump cake warm!

Everyone loves a cozy dessert! Pro Tips Choose the Right Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. If using canned peaches, select those packed in juice rather than syrup for a more natural taste. Don’t Overmix the Batter: A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine. Overmixing can result in a dense cobbler rather than a light, fluffy texture. Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add nutmeg or ginger to the cinnamon for a unique flavor twist that complements the peaches beautifully. Let it Cool: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This helps the juices thicken up a bit, making it easier to serve. {{image_2}} You can swap peaches for other fruits. Try using blueberries, cherries, or apples. Each fruit brings a new taste. For example, use 4 cups of fresh blueberries instead of peaches. Just mix the sugar and cinnamon as you would with peaches.

Add texture with toppings. Chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, give a nice crunch. Sprinkle them on before baking. You can also make a crumble with oats and brown sugar. Mix 1 cup of oats with 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of melted butter. This adds a sweet, crunchy layer on top. Feel free to get creative with your toppings!
