Assembly
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Spoon the peach mixture over the batter without stirring to create a layered effect.

Notes
Fresh peaches are usually available at farmer’s markets during summer. Keep the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
