Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch baking dish
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 large saucepan

Ingredients

  • 6-8 ripe yellow peaches peeled, pitted and evenly sliced (5 cups / about 27 ounces / 770 grams)
  • 2 cups sugar divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour measured by spooning and leveling
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Pour the melted butter into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and tilt the dish to distribute the butter across the bottom.
  • In a medium-sized bowl sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar (reserve the other cup for the peaches), 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add in 1 cup milk and stir just until all ingredients are combined. Pour the batter over the butter. DO NOT STIR.
  • In a large saucepan, combine sliced peaches, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Pour the peach mixture evenly over the batter. DO NOT STIR
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the center no longer looks wet, and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
  • Cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Less-sweet option 1: Use 1 cup sugar in the batter and reduce the sugar added to the peaches to ½  cup.
Less-sweet option 2: Use 2/3 cup sugar in the batter and 2/3 cup sugar with the peaches.
Fresh peaches are recommended. The liquid and sweetness of canned or frozen peaches can change the final texture.
Store cooled leftovers covered in the refrigerator. The flavor is even better after the cinnamon, vanilla, butter, and peaches have had time to meld.
Reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm a larger portion in a 325°F oven.
