Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups sliced fresh or canned peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated and set aside to macerate.
2. Step 2: In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Add 1/2 cup cold cubed unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Step 3: Stir in 1/2 cup whole milk until just combined to form a soft batter. Spoon the peach mixture evenly into a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish, then dollop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the peaches.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle the top with 2 tbsp brown sugar and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg for extra warmth and sweetness.
5. Step 5: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, with the peach juices bubbling around the edges.
6. Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
