  10. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Drain canned peaches well if using instead of fresh.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Add nuts or vanilla extract for extra flavor variation.
  • Best served warm for optimal texture.
  • Reheat in oven to maintain flakiness, avoid microwave.
