Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, ensure that the Bisquick mix is well combined with the milk and margarine. You can substitute the canned peaches with fresh ones if preferred; just slice them thinly and adjust the sugar based on their sweetness. If you're looking to add a twist, consider incorporating a splash of vanilla extract to the sour cream mixture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well before layering on the batter, as excess moisture can affect the final texture of the dessert.
Is it possible to make this dessert ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter and layer the peaches in the pan, then cover and refrigerate it for up to a day before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it's coming straight from the fridge.
What can I substitute for sour cream?
If you don't have sour cream on hand, Greek yogurt is a great substitute that will provide a similar tangy flavor and creamy texture. You can also use buttermilk, but it may slightly alter the consistency of the dessert.
