Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 ripe peaches (about 2 lbs), peeled, pitted, and sliced (or 6 cups frozen peaches, thawed and drained, or canned peaches, drained)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (or almond milk)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional for serving)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel, pit, and slice peaches into 1/2-inch wedges. If using frozen or canned peaches, thaw/drain well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger (if using), cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Toss until coated and cornstarch is dissolved.
  3. Pour peach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ginger (if using).
  5. Add cold, cubed butter and cut in using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into dry ingredients and stir just until combined; batter will be thick and sticky.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of batter over peaches, leaving some gaps for peaches to peek through.
  8. Bake for 38-45 minutes, until topping is golden-brown and filling is bubbling around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and garnish with fresh mint if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For vegan, use plant-based butter, almond or oat milk, and a flax egg. Adjust sugar to taste. Add berries or a splash of bourbon for variations. If peaches are very juicy, add extra cornstarch. Sprinkle extra sugar on topping for more crunch.
