Q1: Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

Yes! Peel and slice about 5–6 ripe peaches. Toss with ½ cup sugar and a tablespoon of lemon juice to mimic the syrup

Q2: Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes—use almond or oat milk instead of regular milk, and swap butter with plant-based margarine.

Q3: Is this dessert healthy?

It’s a treat, so enjoy it in moderation! You can reduce sugar and use fruit in juice to make it lighter.

Yes. Once baked and cooled, wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for best texture.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and allow it to melt in the oven while it heats.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, sugar, and milk until smooth.
Step 3: Once the butter is fully melted, remove the dish from the oven and pour the batter evenly over the butter—do not stir.
Step 4: Pour the entire can of peaches, including syrup, evenly over the batter—again, do not stir.
Step 5: Sprinkle cinnamon on top, if desired, and place the dish back into the oven.
Step 6: Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7: Let it cool slightly before serving warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For a fresh peach version, peel and slice 5–6 ripe peaches, then mix with ½ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
To make it dairy-free, substitute with plant-based milk and margarine.
Use ramekins for individual servings.
Let it sit 5–10 minutes after baking so the juices thicken slightly.
