Can I Use Cake Mix to Make Peach Cobbler?
Yes, you can use cake mix to make peach cobbler. Just make the cake batter as per the directions on the packaging.
What's the difference between cobbler and dump cake?
Actually both are the same, except dump cake is usually always made with cake mix from a box.
This peach cobbler can be made anytime of the year and is the perfect dessert if you have an abundance of fresh peaches. Otherwise if you used canned peaches, it would turn out just as good.
If you have a sweet tooth, this cherry cream cheese strudel is easy to make using pre made puff pastry. A good old apple strudel or cherry pie hits the spot too!

This was real simple to make and tasted ok. I really don't like the taste of canned peaches, so next time I will use fresh and use your suggestion for cooking fresh peaches.
