Tender sweet peaches bring a delicious twist to this classic comfort dessert.  Susbtitute an equal amount of fresh peaches for the frozen if they’re in season.  Serve warm, with the softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

Recipe Notes

Any type of day old bread will do.  Buns, hot dog buns, etc... Don't cut your peach slices too small - you want the chunks.  Add cinnamon if desired.
