Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Stir gently until peaches are evenly coated and set aside to macerate while you prepare the topping.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg. Add 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 3: Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/3 cup whole milk until just combined into a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- Step 4: Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9x9-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peaches, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
- Step 5: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
