More Recipe Tips
I didn’t peel the peaches, but you could totally do that if you prefer. Taste of Home has a great guide to peel peaches.
Half all purpose flour and half whole wheat flour was used, but you could use just all purpose if you like.
To soften butter (that has just come out of the refrigerator) quickly, cut into small squares and place on a plate, in one layer. Let sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes or so until softened.
