Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches sliced

- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Notes
Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor. Keep the butter for the topping cold to achieve a tender, flaky texture. Letting the peaches sit with sugar for a few minutes before assembling will help release their natural juices. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
