  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8

Ingredients

Scale

  • For the filling:

    • 4 cups canned or fresh peach slices (drained if canned)

    • ½ cup granulated sugar

    • ½ tsp cinnamon

    • ½ tsp vanilla extract

    • 1 tbsp lemon juice

    • 2 tbsp cornstarch (if using fresh peaches)

  • For the cake topping:

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour

    • 1 cup granulated sugar

    • 1 tsp baking powder

    • ¼ tsp salt

    • 1 large egg

    • 6 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

    • Optional: 1 tbsp coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.

  • Make the peach filling: In a bowl, toss peaches with sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Pour into the baking dish.

  • Make the cake topping: In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the egg until the mixture is crumbly.

  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches.

  • Drizzle the melted butter over the entire topping. Don’t stir.

  • Optional: Sprinkle coarse sugar on top for extra crunch.

  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.

  • Let cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Peaches: Canned, frozen (thawed), or fresh all work. If using fresh, peel for best texture.

  • Topping Texture: Use coarse sugar on top for a crisp, bakery-style crust.

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling and dry topping mix in advance for quick assembly.

  • Storage: Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
