Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar.
  4. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in milk until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour peach mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish.
  7. Spoon topping evenly over the fruit. Optional: brush topping with cream and sprinkle coarse sugar for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until topping is golden and filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use freestone peaches for easier peeling and slicing.
  • If peaches are overly juicy, add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and butter substitutes.
  • Add a splash of bourbon or berries for variation.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for best flavor.
