Notes
- Grate cold butter into flour to simplify creating the crumbly crust.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons extra butter if the crumb mixture feels dry.
- Use fresh, canned (drained), or frozen peaches; adjust baking time if using frozen peaches.
- Cover cake after baking to prevent drying; store at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerate up to a week.
- The cake freezes well for up to 3 months when tightly wrapped.
