Peach Buckle
Peach Buckle is a classic American dessert, particularly popular in New England and the Midwest, featuring a buttery cake batter topped with fresh peach slices and a streusel crumb topping. As it bakes, the fruit and batter rise together, creating a 'buckled' or textured surface. It's essentially a single-layer coffee cake where the fruit is the star.
