Yummy Peach Dessert

I've been craving peach cobbler since before Christmas, but we always had so many other goodies around the house I couldn't justify making it.  But now the goodies are all gone and I was craving it even more and then I found an old recipe of my mom's last night and took it as a sign.

The recipe is called "Yummy Peach Dessert" in her cookbook, but I think it's also commonly called "Peach Dump Cake".  I think I like "Yummy Peach Dessert" better. :)  I now it's not cobbler, but it's just as good and twice as easy.

First, you dump a big can of peaches, juice and all, into a 9x13 pan. 

How big of a can?  Well, not the smallest can, but certainly not a #10 can.  You know... that big can in the middle. (I'm too lazy to get up and look, okay?)  I like to cut the peaches up a little - it makes them easier to eat.

Then you get out a yellow cake mix.

Side Note: I like Aldi cake mixes.  They're yummy and super cheap.  In fact, I think I prefer them over the big name brands.  I just love Aldi!  I spent $120 there today stocking up on stuff and you wouldn't believe how packed my cart was.  Very, very satisfying.  (Get over your fear, Misty, and try it some time!)

Anywho, sprinkle the cake mix over the peaches.

Now here's the good part: take a stick of butter and cut it into 16 squares.  (Or at least try to.  Apparently I am butter-cutting-impaired. Some of the pieces just would not cut the right way!)

The name of this is Yummy Peach Dessert, not Healthy Peach Dessert.

And now here's the great part: sprinkle about a cup of brown sugar on top.

Oh merciful heavens.

Then bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Mmmm...  I like to eat it piping hot with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.  I would have a picture of this, but my family and I scarfed it down too quickly. 

But trust me.  It was heaven.  Heavenly.  Celestial.  Yum.

Of course that might just be the craving hormones talking.

But I don't think so.
