Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups sliced fresh peaches, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated and juices begin to release.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 3/4 cup whole milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir just until combined to form a thick batter.
  3. Step 3: Pour the peach mixture into a 10-inch cast iron skillet, spreading evenly. Spoon the batter over the peaches in dollops to cover most of the surface. Sprinkle 2 tbsp turbinado sugar over the batter.
  4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbly around the edges. Let cool 10 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken.
