Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (900g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) melted butter

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt.
  2. Allow the peach mixture to sit for 10 minutes to release juices and create a syrupy coating.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet, spreading the fruit evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  5. Use a pastry cutter or forks to cut the chilled, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal with pea-sized lumps.
  6. Stir in the milk just until combined, ensuring the dough remains slightly lumpy.
  7. Drop the dough over the peach filling and brush the top with melted butter.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
