Description
Juicy peach slices bathe in cinnamon-spiced sugar and lemon juice, bubbling with sweet juices as a soft, buttery batter turns golden above them. Warm spoonfuls meld tangy fruit with a crisp topping.
Ingredients
- 6 cups sliced peaches
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and place butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish to melt while the oven heats.
- In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with 3/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Pour the peach mixture into the hot baking dish with melted butter, spreading evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add egg and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined to form a batter.
- Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches without stirring into the fruit.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Use perfectly ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor and best texture
- For a quick shortcut, use frozen peach slices (thawed) in place of fresh
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
