FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Frozen peaches tend to release more water and become softer when baked, which can affect the texture. Fresh peaches are recommended for the best result, but if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid before baking.
Is there a vegan way to make this dessert?
Yes, simply substitute the unsalted butter with a vegan butter or coconut oil, and top with a plant-based yogurt or ice cream alternative.
