- CROCKPOT: If using the crockpot, set the mode to HIGH and cook for 2 hours.

Notes
- Don't Stir: The key to a perfect dump cake is to not mix the layers once they are in the pan. This allows the butter to melt down through the cake mix, creating that distinct crumbly topping.
- Even Butter Coverage: For the best results, ensure the butter is evenly distributed over the dry cake mix. You can thinly slice cold butter, grate it, or cut it into small cubes and scatter them across the top.
- Fresh or Frozen Peaches Work: While the recipe uses fresh peaches, frozen sliced peaches are a great substitute. There's no need to thaw them; simply spread them in the baking dish from frozen.
- Watch for Golden Brown: Keep an eye on your oven! The cake is done when the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is visibly bubbly around the edges.
- Serve Warm with Toppings: This dump cake is especially good when served warm. Consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch.
