Notes

Baking tips:

Peaches needed for top of loaf may vary based on size of peaches (typically 1-2 will be enough)
You can substitute canned sliced peaches that have been drained (2 cups, reserving a few slices for top)
Be sure to check bread at the end of the baking time (15 minutes early) to check on the bread by sticking a tooth pick or clean knife to see if insides come out clean. If not continue to bake until done and it comes out clean.
Baking times vary based on altitude and oven. It may take longer or shorter.
