Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss 5 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches with 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt until fully combined.
- Step 3: Stir in 1 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter into the dry mixture until just combined, making a smooth batter.
- Step 4: Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9-inch square baking dish, then gently spoon the batter over the peaches, spreading it to cover most of the fruit.
- Step 5: Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar evenly over the batter for a sweet, caramelized crust.
- Step 6: Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
