I liked this recipe because it was so easy! I did not use a full stick of butter. (Probably used 5.5 tablespoons) Also, I added some brown sugar. I thought it tasted pretty good, as did my friends. However, most of us agreed that it felt heavy and I personally thought it tasted a bit too sweet. Next time, I will use the peaches in light syrup, or fresh peaches, and I will not add the brown sugar. I think I might also mix the cinnamon into the cake mix itself and sprinkle some extra on top. Overall, good recipe, but I will make it next time with the above changes.

The ONLY reason I gave this 4 stars is because the original calls for canned peaches. I use fresh fruit whenever possible. I was looking for a way to use up some JUMBO (1 lb each) peaches we got from the local orchard, and this has the most reviews with such a high rating. I now know why! I used about 3 lb of fresh peaches, dribbled with a little bit of maple syrup (2 Tbsp?), and followed the rest as written (but with grating butter as was suggested by many). This is DEFINITELY a keeper with the mod to fresh peaches. (fresh fruit and boxed cake mix... I know... but peaches shouldn't come in a can :-p)

A huge hit and oh so easy. I used 12 fresh sliced peaches and sprinkled 1 tsp. cinnamon on top (if they're ripe no need to add sugar). I also increased the cinnamon sprinkled on top to 1 tsp. Grating the cold butter worked great.

very good-i prepared 1/2 with canned apples and 1/2 with peaches(very little peach juice accord. to other reviewers) did not care much for the extra sugar other reviewers posted-a little too sweet but the cinnamon was just fine.i recieved high marks for this recipe too

I was looking for a recipe to use some fresh peaches that were going soft. SO I used this recipe and modified it a bit. I covered the 13x9 pan with peeled and sliced fresh freestones. I had one extra that I liquified with a hand blender. Since this recipe called for canned with the juice, I added some simple syrup to the sliced peaches. The cake mix was added and sprinkled with cinnimon sugar. This tip can be used by all; rather than slicing the butter, I used frozen unsalted butter and grated it. Then I sprinkled it over the top. This came out great and served it warm with vanilla ice cream....Mmmmmmm

This is ridicously easy! I cannot believe that I've never made this recipe until now. I baked this at the cottage this past weekend for the family and they couldn't believe how tasty it was! I used 1 1/2 cans of 28 oz sliced peaches in juice, drained 1 can fully. I also added 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the top and grated the butter over top that. Served with a good quality vanilla ice cream. This will now be my "go-to" dessert recipe!

AMAZING! I mixed the peaches, juice, and cake mix together, reserving about a half cup of cake mix for the topping. I added a tsp of Mexican Vanilla to the mixture. (vanilla makes EVERYTHING better, right?) Then, poured into my Pam sprayed pan, topped evenly with the reserved cake mix, added about a 1/3 cup brown sugar like others had suggested, sprinkled cinnamon, then added the thinly sliced butter evenly on top. It is HEAVEN!!!! Even better when topped with Vanilla Ice cream.... I am so happy to have found this recipe!! Thank You, Jessica!

AWESOME! I took this to a family 4th of July party and everyone loved it. It was gone before everyone had a chance to try it. It is so easy to make and I will definitely be making it again. I made it just as the recipe called and had no problems.

Didn't change a thing and I loved it!! My boyfriend is from Georgia so he is a big fan of peach cobbler, I came across this recipe and I thought it would be an interesting alternative - soooo good! Never lasts very long (thanks to me :]) and is a favorite in my house now! Can't wait to make it again!!

I mixed the drained peach syrup and 1 stick of melted butter into the dry cake mix (I used butter recipe yellow mix) and poured over the peaches, sprinkled with cinnamon and baked for about 30 minutes. This makes a very quick good desert with little work. I find it to be a cross between cake and cobbler, not quite one or the other. Kids loved it - I found it a bit sweet, but will use light syrup peaches next time.

Memories of my mother-in-law making this, seems like she melted the butter, so I tried it this way. Came out tasty, everyone enjoyed. A little too runny, next time I will use less juice. Will also try cutting melted marg into cake mix before topping fruit, the original version was not a crumbly topping that I remember.

Very sweet, but very yummy. My husband was actually the one who made it -- I just read the directions to him as he went. He cut the butter into very thin slices and laid them all over the top. It baked to a beautiful crisp!
