Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon; toss gently and set aside to macerate for 10 minutes until peaches release juices.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter slices with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 cup whole milk until just combined into a thick batter.
  4. Step 4: Pour the peach mixture along with juices into a greased 8x8-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of batter evenly over the peaches, then sprinkle 2 tbsp brown sugar on top.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and set, and bubbling juices appear around edges. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving to thicken.
