Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Ensure the peaches are well-drained to avoid excess moisture. You can also try using fresh peaches when in season for a more vibrant taste.
