Ingredients

Scale

For the Peach Filling:

  • 68 fresh peaches (about 5 cups), peeled and sliced (or 2 cans sliced peaches, drained)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

For the Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and place in the oven until melted. Remove and swirl to coat the bottom.
  3. In a saucepan (for fresh peaches) combine peaches, sugars, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Simmer for 5–7 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract. (Skip this step if using canned peaches, just mix ingredients in a bowl.)
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
  6. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir.
  7. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar on top.
  8. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
