👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep the Peaches
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
-
Transfer the mixture to a cast-iron skillet or baking dish, spreading evenly.
2️⃣ Make the Topping
-
In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add cold butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in hot water gradually—just enough to bring the dough together.
3️⃣ Assemble & Bake
-
Drop spoonfuls of dough over the peach filling, spreading gently to cover most of the surface.
-
Sprinkle the top with extra sugar for a crisp, sweet finish.
-
Place the skillet on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
4️⃣ Serve It Up!
-
Let cool for 10–15 minutes to allow the juices to thicken.
-
Serve warm with a generous scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
🍽 Tips & Easy Variations
-
Too tart? Adjust sugar based on how sweet your peaches are.
-
Frozen peaches: Work great—just thaw and drain before using.
-
Canned peaches: Drain 2 cans, and add juice from 1 can to the mix.
-
Add a crunch: Sprinkle with chopped pecans or oats before baking.
-
Make it your own: Try using nectarines, plums, or a mix of summer fruits!
