Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in juice
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds or chopped pecans

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Empty the peaches into a 9x13 inch baking dish, reserving only half of the juice to prevent the dessert from becoming too watery.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar over the peaches.
  4. Drizzle the vanilla extract evenly across the peaches and toss gently with a fork until coated.
  5. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peach layer, using a fork to smooth it out and ensure the fruit is entirely covered.
  6. Pour the melted butter slowly over the cake mix, focusing on the edges and any dry spots.
  7. Use a spatula to lightly press the butter into the mix, leaving some craggy peaks for texture.
  8. Scatter the almonds or pecans over the surface.
  9. Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the top is golden brown.
