Peach Dessert

Whisper's Note:

This recipe came from DH's grandmother Francis. It was always one of my favorites. It's great when peaches are in season, or you can use canned or frozen. Simple and fast to make.

sorry to have to give this a low rating, but I entirely had to disagree with the previous review. The only adjustment I had to make was I used a loaf pan intead of a 8 in square. So I baked for a bit longer (till the sourcream was set) accordingly. But the crust was way beyond dry, and the overall taste was not very good. My 6 and 5 year old said no thank you and asked to be excused. For us--that says alot.

I love desserts like this. Quick, easy and delicious. I used canned peaches (that's what I had),sour cream and only half a cup of sugar. I also baked it for a bit longer since I wanted it more brown around the edges. This is like comfort food and dessert in one. Oh and I really liked it for breakfast (blush). Thanks!
