Ingredients:

  • 6 cups sliced peaches
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup whole milk

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla until the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the mixture into a buttered casserole dish, spreading the fruit into a level layer.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps of butter remaining.
  4. Stir in the milk just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon the dough over the peaches in dollops to create peaks. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 minutes until the fruit juices bubble and the topping is deep mahogany brown.
