Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (900g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp (7g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to form a syrup, then pour into a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Drizzle the melted butter directly over the fruit layer in the baking dish.
  3. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then stir in the milk until just combined.
  4. Spoon the batter over the peaches in dollops, ensuring not to stir the batter into the fruit.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the topping is mahogany-colored and the fruit is bubbling vigorously around the edges.
