Ready to bring this dessert to life? Follow these steps:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain peaches lightly, leaving a couple tablespoons of syrup for moisture. If using fresh peaches, toss slices with lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar.
Arrange peaches evenly in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour in melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until crumbly and evenly moistened without overmixing.
Sprinkle the cake topping evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and peach juices bubble around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
Cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken and meld flavors.
