I don't like bisquick in sweets so I used Flour, Powdered sugar and water.. Very good

Couldn't find any nice peaches for this recipe so used 5 not-so-large peaches from canned halves! It worked well enough for me, but would certainly like to try this another time with fresh fruit! Still this recipe makes for a very tasty peach treat! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]
