Ingredients

Scale

6 cups fresh yellow peaches, sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
0.5 cup whole milk
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel and slice the fresh peaches into half-inch thick wedges.
Toss the peaches with half of the sugar and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased nine-by-nine baking dish.
Whisk the flour, remaining sugar, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Stir in the milk slowly until a soft dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Notes

Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best lift in the biscuit topping. For extra warmth, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger to the peach mixture. If you prefer a gluten-free option, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
