This is a delightful twist on a classic southern favorite. A scrumptious peach filling spiced up with cinnamon and nutmeg is topped with a gluten free topping and sprinkled with sugar. It makes a nice crunchy crust and is a great gluten free dessert, especially when it's served ala mode!

Notes
NOTE: I recommend using a blended all-purpose gluten free flour rather than just one. I do not recommend using coconut flour in this recipe. I also suggest a gluten free flour other than Pamela's baking and pancake mix, since it does not have a one-to-one equivalence. It also does not taste as well as other GF flours.NOTE: My favorite GF flour is Cup4Cup.NOTE: You can also use regular flour in this recipe if you don't need to keep it gluten free.
