Very easy to prepare......I used canned peaches. I didn't serve it with the graham cracker crust, I spooned the peaches over a slice of angel food cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. I've given it 4-stars because my husband found sauce to be to sweet. Next time I'll reduce the sugar.

My 8 yr old granddaughter and I made this and really enjoyed it. I think I'll reduce the amount of brown sugar a bit next time as I thought it was super sweet but she loved it as is! We also tried warming it in the microwave and liked it hot as well. Would be wonderful topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

I'm bad about eating enough fruit daily and this is a wonderful way to get a fruit fix. I used Del Monte Lite Sliced Peaches and 1 whole graham cracker per serving (2 servings). Will make this often! Made for Fall 2009 Pick A Chef.

Delicious! This was a super quick and easy way to dress up peaches. I used fresh peaches and opted for the "adult" version by using Cointreau liquor instead of the orange juice. My family loved this and gave it 2-thumbs up. Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe...it is definitely a keeper!
