4. 4

   Notes:
7. 7
   If your fresh peaches are not overly sweet, sprinkle 1/2 cup of sugar over the peaches.
8. 8
   It's okay to not put on the entire 1 3/4 cups boiling water as the peaches will create some juice. If you use the entire 1 3/4 cups water, please line your oven as this dish will boil over!
9. 9
   You can use frozen/thawed peaches, but make sure to decrease the boiling water needed at the end to 1 1/4 cups.
