Notes

Fresh ripe peaches are best for flavor, but canned or frozen work great year-round.
For extra juiciness, always macerate peaches with sugar before baking.
Add 1 tbsp cornstarch to peaches if they’re very juicy to prevent runny filling.
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheat gently in the oven.
