Notes
For a crispier top, use cold butter and cut it into small cubes instead of melting it before baking.
If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them before adding to the dish.
For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.
