How you'll know it's ready

You'll know it's ready when the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

Convection oven? (and if you don't have one)

For standard ovens, the temperature is perfect as written. If using a convection oven, reduce the temperature to 325°F (160°C) and start checking a few minutes early, as convection ovens bake faster.

Troubleshooting

  • If the topping isn't getting golden, try placing it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  • If the filling is too runny, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch next time.

  • If using canned peaches, drain them well to avoid excess liquid.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.

Make ahead
