Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or drained canned peaches)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for batter)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the peaches with 3/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until smooth.
- Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Without stirring, pour the batter evenly over the melted butter.
- Spoon the peach mixture and its juices evenly over the batter without stirring.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crisp.

Notes
You can use frozen peaches—just thaw and drain them first.
Try adding blueberries or raspberries for extra texture.
Swap cinnamon with nutmeg or cardamom for a twist.
Use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk for a dairy-free version.
Gluten-free flour blends work well as a substitute.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the microwave or oven; avoid freezing to maintain texture.
