FAQ
How long does Peach Cobbler keep?
This fresh peach cake with cake mix will keep for up to 5 days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
Can I use canned peaches?
I do not recommend using canned peaches in this recipe, no. This cake mix peach cobbler is best enjoyed with fresh peaches.
Can I use frozen peaches?
Possibly, although I haven’t tried it myself. If you’re using frozen peaches, I think you can bake them from frozen (meaning you don’t have to thaw them), but the baking time would increase.
How to ripen peaches
To ripen peaches, place them in a brown paper bag and fold the top over. Or cover a box of peaches with newspaper and let sit at room temperature until ripe.
How to remove the peach stone
The easiest way to remove the pit is to cut the peach from top to bottom and all the way around and then pluck or push out the pit with your thumb. If that doesn’t work, you can place the peach on the grill and the heat will loosen the stone.
The most important thing to remember is that a ripe peach releases its pit. So you may have an underripe peach.
