29 ozs peach slices in syrup -- drained

2 tbsp plus 1 tsp olive oil

Arrange peach slice in a 8-inch glass square dish. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Microwave three minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix and oil. Mix well. Crumble over peaches in dish. Microwave twelve minutes on high, turning 1/4 turn every two minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.

Serving Ideas : Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

NOTES : The key to actually cooking with a microwave is to know your microwave's wattage and adjust the recipe accordingly. You also need to use the appropriate cookware for your oven. Most cookware that can be used in the microwave will state "suitable for microwave" or "microwave safe". Avoid using cookware with metal trim, foil-lined bags, boxes, or baking trays.

I substituted oil for margarine and added more peaches to cover the surface of the eight inch pan called for in the recipe. I let the cobbler set at room temperature a few hours before serving. Doing this let it set and we found it tasted better than right out of the microwave.
