Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 2 tbsp cornstarch. Stir gently until peaches are evenly coated and juices begin to release.
  2. Step 2: Pour the peach mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. 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.
  3. Step 3: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubes into the dry flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/3 cup whole milk just until a soft dough forms; do not overmix.
  5. Step 5: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling, leaving some gaps so the filling can bubble through.
  6. Step 6: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbly and tender.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
