I make this often, very easy to prepare and always a winner with all types of eaters. Pears and spices are a great alternative. Easy to swap out ingredients but still have a great torte.
Would you change anything if you used fresh pears instead of peaches?
I add cinnamon or all spice. If I have pomegranate seeds in will sprinkle some in with the pear layer to have some color. That is it. The recipe stays the same.
Can I use canned peaches and if so, how much should I use?
Is there something else I could use in place of sorghum flour?
I replaced the sorghum flour with coconut flour. It came out very well.
Made it today, very tasty!
