💡 What's interesting
The 'upside-down' baking method is a clever technique that originated in the early 20th century as a way to caramelize fruit directly in the pan, creating a built-in topping without extra steps. Nutritionally, using peaches adds a source of vitamins and fiber, though the overall dish remains an indulgent treat.
