Tips

  • Use ripe peaches in summer; frozen work fine year-round.
  • Do not stir the batter in; it rises through the fruit as it bakes.
  • A pinch of nutmeg adds warmth.

Variations

  • Add 1/2 cup berries with the peaches.
  • Stir 1/2 teaspoon almond extract into the fruit.
  • Sprinkle coarse sugar on the topping before baking.
