Recipe Details
Ingredients
Filling
- 01 5 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 02 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 03 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 04 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 05 1 tsp lemon zest
- 06 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Topping
- 01 1 cup all‑purpose flour
- 02 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 03 1 tsp baking powder
- 04 1/4 tsp salt
- 05 4 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 06 1/3 cup milk
- 07 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9‑inch baking dish.
In a bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit while you prepare the topping.
Spread the peach mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
In another bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir milk and egg together, then pour into the flour mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the fruit, covering as much as possible but leaving gaps for steam.
Bake for 30‑35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling at the edges.
Remove from the oven, let cool 5 minutes, then serve warm. Enjoy it with a dollop of whipped cream if you like.
