Peach Buckle

What's a Buckle? Delicious! It's a balance between a cake and a fruit crisp, called so because of how the cake "buckles" around the fruit that's on top of it!
This classic Peach Buckle is the perfect summer dessert to highlight local, ripe peaches and makes an easy crowd-pleaser for gatherings or afternoon tea.

Notes

This dish doesn't keep very well, so you might as well invite a few friends and eat the whole thing! Leftover could be stored in the fridge and might work best crumbled into Greek yogurt in the morning.
