Easy Street 2: Super Easy Delicious Peach Cobbler

Back in the 60's, Mom used to make something called "Dump Cake." She poured a can of pie filling in a square pan, sprinkled the top with a Jiffy Cake Mix straight from the package, and drizzled butter over the top of it. She baked it for 20 minutes or so. Super simple and quite yummy!

I picked fresh peaches a few weeks ago. When making peach cobbler, I decided to try a variation on Mom's Dump Cake for the crumb topping.

Again, I rarely measure anything, so I'm estimating!

Best Peach Cobbler

8-10 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup of sugar

1/4-1/2 cup of water

Cook this together on the stove, until it bubbles, then add:

1-2 Tablespoons of flour

Continue cooking and stirring until it thickens. (It will be like a pie filling consistency.)

Pour this mixture into an 8 X 8 greased pan.

Topping:

1/2 box of Yellow Cake Mix (I can't find the Jiffy Cake Mix at our store, so I just use half of the full size.)

2 cups of Old Fashioned Oatmeal

1 Tablespoon of cinnamon

Mix this together well and sprinkle over the peach mixture in the pan. (I like the change in texture because of the oats!)

1 stick of butter- cut into small pieces and dot over the top of the topping mixture. (Mom used to melt the butter and drizzle it. It melts either way, so I eliminate this step.)
