Peach Cobbler

By North Star



(You can substitute almost any canned pie filling for the peaches to make variations).

Ingredients:

2 large cans of peaches in syrup. Use all the syrup from one can and about 1/2 the syrup from the second can.
One tablespoon of cornstarch.
One box of super moist yellow cake.
Eggs, oil, and water as required for the cake mix.
1 large ziplock bag for preparing the cake mix.
4 pats of butter.
Additional things to buy that will really make the experience special: French Vanilla ice cream & whipped cream.

Preparation:

Dump the peaches and syrup in the Dutch oven and mix in the cornstarch.
Mix the cake batter in the ziplock bag per the instructions (Note: many people do not follow the instructions and either just dump the cake mix on top of the peaches or leave out the eggs and oil. These methods still make a good cobbler, but I prefer to make the cake per the instructions.)
Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the peaches.
Pour the batter on top of the peaches.
Put the pats of butter on top of the batter.

Cooking:

Cooks in about 45-55 minutes. Test the cake with a plastic utensil or toothpick to see if it is done. The syrup may be bubbling up in spots--that is not a problem.

Serving:

Spoon into the bowl and serve with French Vanilla ice cream and whipped cream (if you can get them).
Caution: the cobbler is usually quite hot, so be careful.
