Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. You can also substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty taste. Ensure the margarine is softened to make it easier to mix with the flour. This mixture can also be used as a base for other desserts, similar to the crust of a Sugar-Free Fresh Strawberry Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Layered Peach Delight with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad or a light dessert like Wilcox'S Apple Nut Salad. For a delightful brunch option, consider serving alongside Easy And Tasty Macaroni Salad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour by adding 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt for each cup of flour used. This will mimic the properties of self-rising flour and ensure your dessert rises properly.
What can I use instead of margarine?
You can use an equal amount of unsalted butter or a plant-based butter alternative for a vegan option. Just make sure it is softened to blend well with the flour and nuts.
Can I add fruit to this recipe?
Yes, adding diced peaches or other fruits like blueberries or raspberries can enhance the flavor. Just make sure to adjust the baking time slightly if adding a significant amount of extra moisture from fresh fruit.
