Ingredients
900 g ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
100 g granulated sugar for filling
25 g light brown sugar
15 g cornstarch
15 ml lemon juice
5 ml vanilla extract for filling
3 g ground cinnamon
0.5 g ground nutmeg
190 g all-purpose flour
80 g granulated sugar for topping
12 g baking powder
3 g fine salt
105 g cold unsalted butter, cubed
120 ml whole milk
5 ml vanilla extract for dough
15 g coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 23 x 33 cm baking dish with butter.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 100 g granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, 5 ml vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg; toss until evenly coated.
Poured the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and dot with half of the cubed butter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 80 g granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the remaining butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and remaining 5 ml vanilla extract until just combined to form a shaggy dough.
Drop the dough in rustic spoonfuls over the peach filling.
Sprinkle the top with the coarse sugar.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure your peaches are ripe but firm for the best texture. If using very juicy peaches, you may need to add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
