Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches and add them with a little sugar to sweeten, as fresh peaches can be less sweet than canned. Adjust the baking time if necessary, as fresh fruit may release more moisture.
How do I make this dessert gluten-free?
To make this dessert gluten-free, simply substitute the regular butter brickle or pecan cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix. Ensure that all other ingredients, including the butter and coconut, are gluten-free as well.
Can I prepare this dessert ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dessert ahead of time. Assemble it in the pan, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remove it from the fridge and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if it’s cold.
