⏱️ Prep Time:
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 45–50 minutes
- Total Time: 50–55 minutes
- Servings: 8–10
🍳 Equipment:
- 9×13-inch baking dish

📝 Ingredients:
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in heavy syrup, undrained

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but recommended)

🧾 Ingredient Notes:
- Peaches: Use canned in heavy syrup for the best gooey texture. Fresh or frozen can work, but you’ll need to add sugar and liquid.
