Expert Tips
Use Salted Butter : You want the extra salt to help balance out the sweet cake mix and peaches.
Don’t Prepare The Cake Mix : Do not prepare the cake mix according to package instructions. All you do is dump the dry cake mix over top the peaches and spread it out.
Slice The Butter Thin : Slice it very thin so you have plenty of butter slices to cover the cake mix.
Don’t Drain The Peaches : No need to drain the juice. We want that juice to soak up the cake mix and create this cobbler like topping.

I actually just used a baking dish and baked it in the oven. Just follow the directions and it will walk you through it. Thanks!
I think you could definitely do this in a crockpot! Let us know how it goes!
I have never tried it with fresh peaches so I am not positive how it would turn out. My only concern is that it would be too dry because you pour in the whole can of peaches AND the juice. If you used fresh peaches, I would add some sort of liquid so it wouldn't come out dry and crumbly. Sorry I am not much help!
I will say that the Six sister's recipe is as close as any I've ever come across to what she made! ;o)
Just wondering if you used the fresh peaches and how it turn out. I'm thinking of adding sugar to my sliced peaches to get the liquid needed. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thank you
Drain the liquid off te peaches into a bowl, mix a few tablespoons of flour and a tsp or two of cinnamon into the juice before pouring over the peaches. Then dump your dry cake mix and top with butter. It gives the bottom layer that creamy, tangy peach cobbler texture.
An equally awesome twist on this is 2 cans of strawberry pie filling with a chocolate cake mix! We call it chocolate covered strawberry cobbler.
One question...do the leftovers need to be refrigerated?
