I love the topping for this. I make peach pie filling in the fall and freeze it so this was super simple to put together.

Does anyone know if frozen peaches can be used for this, and if so, what quantity?

Has anyone else made this? Doesn't seem like enough sugar for that much fruit. As an example, I always use 1 cup of sugar to about 4 cups of fruit for my fruit pies. That's the way my grandma and mom made them!
