Dang.....I don't know. I think it's probably 12". It was a large pie! Well, not large enough.......

Thats a BIG springform pan! Maybe I will use my 10" one.

Hi,

I lost my very favorite Bavarian peach torte and was desperately
looking for it to make for New Year's.

I know it is here somewhere, right? Well, I took a chance on
googling and never expecting to find the recipe!!!!

Yours has a somewhat diff. measurement for some of the ingredients like
3/8 of sugar and 3/8 of vanilla. Does the 3/8s make a difference?

Thank you for your rescuing me in my search. I still haven't given
up on finding my original. I have had it for years and don't even
remember where I got it!

Have a wonderful new year. Mary Ann H.

Hi, Mary Ann.....the measurements are a matter of taste. If you like it sweet...add more sugar and vanilla...and if not, then reduce.
I hope you have a wonderful Pahty and New Year!!
