Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

  1. Peel, pit, and slice the peaches. In a bowl, combine sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach mixture into the baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peaches, leaving gaps for the filling to bubble through.
  4. Brush the dough with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling bubbles.
  5. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream.
