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, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Pour the peach mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  4. Step 4: Using a pastry cutter or fingers, cut in 6 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup whole milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract just until a soft dough forms; do not overmix.
  6. Step 6: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peach mixture, leaving some gaps to allow steam to escape.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
  8. Step 8: Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
