Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

6 cups frozen peach slices (slightly thawed)
1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp lemon juice
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt

Equipment

1 Mixing Bowl
1 Whisk
1 9x13-inch Baking Dish
1 Oven

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare peaches: In a bowl, toss peaches with ½ cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Make batter: In another bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk until smooth.
Butter the dish: Pour melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Do not stir.
Assemble: Pour the batter over the butter, then spoon peaches evenly on top. Do not mix.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and bubbly.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Notes

Do not over-thaw frozen peaches; a little juice enhances the syrupy texture.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for a warm spice twist.
For a lighter version, substitute sugar with honey or monk fruit sweetener.
Pairs beautifully with Jackie Kennedy’s lemon cake for a Southern-inspired dessert table.
