Do You Use Peeled or Unpeeled Peaches?
You'll want to use unpeeled peaches --- Believe it or not, keeping the skin on your peaches actually gives the cobbler cake more depth flavor and a beautiful color in the filling. And don't worry---the peach skins won't be hard and they actually soften greatly which still makes for the perfect bite!
How to Easily Peel Fresh Peaches
If you decide while making this peach cobbler dump cake that you'd prefer to peel the skins off your peaches----no worries! A great hack to do so is to gently lower a few peaches at a time (best to use a skimmer) into a pot of boiling water and leave them in fro 20-30 seconds before removing them and into an ice bath to stop the "cooking process". Then you should be able to peel them with no problem without the need for a knife or any tool.
Is it Better to Use Fresh, Frozen or Canned Peaches for Cobbler Dump Cake?
The best part about this peach cobbler dump cake is its versatility—you can use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches. If you decide to use canned peaches, you'll need about 3-4 cans of peaches to equal the amount of fresh peaches. You'll want to drain them well and pat them dry before adding to filling ingredients. Also, toss them in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to ensure that the filling isn't too liquid-y when baking.
For frozen peaches, let them thaw completely and give them a good pat dry also. But if it’s summer and fresh peaches are in season, go for those—they’re the ultimate choice!
How Do You Soften or Rippen Peaches?
The best way to help to ripe hard peaches is to put them in a paper bag and leave them on the counter for a day. And if it still isn't softened, keep it in the bag for another 24 hours or so.
How To Serve This Cinnamon Sugar Peach Cobbler Dump Cake
Enjoy this Cinnamon Sugar Peach Cobbler Dump Cake straight out of the oven while it’s still warm + bubbly—it’s irresistible! For an extra special touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. Trust me, it’ll be gone in no time!
Cinnamon Sugar Peach Cobbler Dump Cake Q + A's
Store any leftovers in a tightly covered container or glass dish covered and refrigerated for 2-3 days before the topping begins to get mushy. To reheat, simply add leftover peach cobbler to a preheated oven of 375 degrees until warmed through.
To make the cake topping is GF, simply substitute with a GF-friendly cake mix.
To make this vegan-friendly, simply substitute the butter with vegan butter and ensure that the cake mix is vegan-friendly. Also, use coconut whipped cream, dairy-free ice cream, and/or vegan caramel sauce for garnish.
You can always substitute the salted butter with unsalted butter. When doing so, you can add a pinch of salt as an ingredient.
