Recipe View 10 mins Prepare the Peach Filling: Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced peaches, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency (approximately 10 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Cut in the cold, unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized lumps. Blend in 2 tablespoons sour cream until the dough just comes together. It should be a bit shaggy.

Recipe View 45 mins Bake: Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too quickly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the custard is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (approximately 10 minutes).
