Description
A Southern classic with a custard-like topping melting into tender peaches. This golden crumb-and-jam combination balances sweetness and spice, offering a nostalgic, oven-baked comfort dessert.
Ingredients
6 to 8 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch. Toss to coat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream 3/4 cup sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour, alternating with milk, mixing until smooth. Stir in vanilla and baking powder.
Pour batter over peach filling in the prepared dish. Drop spoonfuls onto the surface for texture.
Bake for 40 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use fresh peaches at peak ripeness for best flavor or canned (drained) as a substitute.
Baking time may vary by oven; cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
