Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, toss 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until peaches are coated; set aside.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg.
  3. Step 3: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 3/4 cup whole milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract until just combined to form a soft biscuit dough.
  5. Step 5: Pour the peach mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peaches.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the peach filling is bubbling.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
