Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined; do not overmix.

Note
This recipe works well with other fruits. Substitute the peaches with fresh or thawed frozen blueberries, strawberries, apples, or blackberries. If using frozen fruit packed in sugar syrup, omit the first 1 cup of sugar added to the fruit mixture to prevent it from being too sweet.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
For best results, use ripe, juicy peaches. If your peaches are very tart, you may want to increase the sugar in the filling slightly. Ensure the peach mixture is hot when poured over the batter to help start the cooking process of the topping.
