Sweet, syrupy peaches meet a rich, buttery topping in this old-fashioned dump cobbler, and the whole thing comes together with almost no hands-on effort. Melted unsalted butter lines the bottom of the dish, a warm dusting of cinnamon gets scattered over the layers, and canned peaches in their own syrup go straight on top, left untouched so the layers bake into distinct, gooey-edged perfection. Forty-five minutes in the oven turns it deep golden and bubbling, with that irresistible contrast between a crisp, caramelized top and a soft, fruit-soaked base. Let it rest just long enough to set before spooning it into bowls, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting right into the warm fruit. It's an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert, and it's a solid pick if you're watching added salt, since the whole thing leans on real fruit, warm spice, and simple butter rather than anything salty for its flavor. Minimal prep, maximum payoff — this is the kind of cobbler you'll want in regular rotation.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it in the oven for 4–5 minutes, until fully melted. Remove the dish from the oven and tilt to coat the bottom evenly.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the melted butter in a single layer. Do not stir.
