This recipe is one of our most popular desserts.

I've made this twice now, the first time I made it just like the recipe, but it was more like a soup, for lack of a better word. The topping was just little pieces here and there so it was very rich and soupy. I made it again today because I liked the taste, but this time instead of making the topping I made a white cake mix, poured it on top of the peach mixture and baked it, kind of like a upside down cake. It was delicious! My husband and I both liked this version much better, it was good without being too rich like the original was. You will need to put it in a larger dish though, I used a 9 x 13 x 2 which was just right.
