Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?

To make a gluten-free version, substitute the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix. Ensure that all other ingredients, including the peaches and butter, are also gluten-free. This way, you can enjoy the same delightful flavors without the gluten.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can assemble the dish a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to bake, simply preheat the oven and bake as directed. This makes it a perfect dessert option for gatherings.
