Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or canned peaches (peeled & sliced, if fresh)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick, melted)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare peaches:
- If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, then toss with ½ cup sugar.
- If using canned peaches, drain lightly and mix with sugar.
- Melt butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish (place dish in oven while preheating to melt the butter).
- Make batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, remaining ½ cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk until smooth. Add vanilla if using.
- Pour batter over the melted butter in the baking dish (do not stir).
- Add peaches on top of the batter. (The batter will rise up around the fruit while baking.)
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool slightly before serving. Delicious warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
