Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) peeled and sliced peaches
- 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 3 tbsp (42g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
Instructions:
- If using fresh peaches, sauté them in a pan with the brown sugar and lemon juice for 5 minutes until slightly softened. If using canned peaches, toss the drained slices with the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Stir the cornstarch thoroughly into the peach mixture to stabilize the juices and prevent a soggy bottom.
- Divide the peach mixture evenly among 6 slots of a muffin tin, filling each about 2/3 of the way.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Stir in the heavy cream just until a shaggy dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
- Spoon the dough evenly over the peach filling in the muffin tins and bake for 25 minutes until the crust is golden-brown and mahogany-colored.
