Peach Buckle

Instead of using a cast-iron skillet, you can make the buckle in a 9-inch square baking pan or in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Serve straight from the pan.

    I just pulled this out of the oven. It is fabulous. The consistency is somewhere between cake and custard and the flavor of the peaches really shines through. Thanks for the recipe!

    Wonderful dessert. It reminded me of bread pudding. I did half the recipe so maybe that was why. I only had peaches and it turned out great. It was very good.

    Made this several times and it's always a hit. Not too sweet and very moist.
    a nice end to a good meal.

    Wow!. This was really great. I added 1/2 c. frozen blackberries along with the peaches (because I didn't have as many peaches as I had thought), but I'm sure the peaches alone would have been fantastic.
