Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Toss gently and set aside while preparing topping.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Using a pastry cutter or fingers, cut in 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 3/4 cup whole milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract until just combined into a soft dough.
  4. Step 4: Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, covering most of the surface but allowing some peaches to peek through. Sprinkle 2 tbsp brown sugar evenly on top.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges. Let cool slightly before serving.
