I did this cobbler while camping, over a campfire.. And it was amazing! I did not measure out the 1/4 cup sugar perfectly, so it turned out real sweet, but it was such a good campfire treat!

I used a 15 oz can of peaches and less than half of a cake mix box. I did not add any sugar based on the reviews here, but did sprinkle some cinnamon and nutmeg. It came out pretty good. I think it worked out better that I only had the small can of peaches. Had I used the huge can or two small cans, I think I would've needed more cake mix. Also, I put the margarine evenly around the top, not in the middle as suggested. It is sweet (without adding the sugar), but all of the sweetness basically comes from the cake mix. So, if you're not using a lot of cake mix or you want the cobbler to come out a little sweeter, add a tiny bit of sugar or serve with ice-cream.

I made this while camping. It was pretty good for a quick "on the camp stove" recipe, but it was way too sweet. Next time I will omit the sugar (doesn't need it with the peach syrup and the cake mix.) Also, next time I might add a 15 oz can of peaches to the 29 oz can so there is more fruit.

I love this recipe!! I originally planned to try it on a camping trip, but when the trip was canceled due to bad weather, I made it at home instead. Super easy and delicious! Tonight I tried it with strawberries instead (I used a combo of fresh strawberries and strawberry syrup) and once again, it was perfect! I didn't use a lot of sugar, just sprinkled a little on top of the fruit, and I halved both the fruit and cake mix each time. I will be making this over and over again!

I was intrigued by the idea of "stove top peach cobbler". I'm currently living on the coast of Sicily, and I don't think it's been below 90 yet this entire Summer, so any recipe that made a yummy "cobbler" without me having to turn on my oven was worth a try. I used blueberry pie filling with lemon cake mix. It's cooking now, that's why I've only given it one star...will update in a bit. Update: This is a REALLY good, versatile, quick recipe! I left out the sugar since the pie filling was already sweet enough. I really like how the lemon cake mix sets off the sweetness of the blueberries, but I will definitely try other combinations too:D

NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS REGULAR OLD PEACH COBLER BAKED IN THE OVEN.. FOR CAMPING - MAYBE - MAKE THE CAKE ACC TO RECIPE ON BOX - PUT THE PEACHES AND THE JUICE IN AN 8 X 10 OR 12 DROP BY GOLLUPS THE CAKE MIS OVER THE PEACHES - SPRINKLE TITCH OF SUGAR CIN. AND NUTMED.. BAKE 350..UNTIL THE CAKE PART IS DONE!! THIS IS COMFORT FOOD AT IT'S BEST - SERVED WITH ICE CREAM OR WHIP CREAM... GOOOOOD!!

This is a great versital recipe! Perfect for camping. I used canned apple pie filling, no sugar since already sweetened but did add apple pie spice. And I used about 1/3 of a regular sized box of french vanilla cake mix. I used the 4 T of butter, sliced them thin and spread out on top of cake mix. I didn't have any dry spots. And my flame went out and I didn't realize so I took the top off a few times and had to relight the fire and it still came out great! I do think it would be better with peaches or even blackberries, I didn't care for the flavor of the particular brand of pie filling I bought. I really don't see how this recipe could be bad, since I totally screwed it up and it still came out great!
