Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for peach filling)
  • Pinch of salt (for peach filling)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for biscuit topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for biscuit topping)
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold whole milk (substitute with dairy-free milk if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 tablespoons flour, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until peaches are evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. In another large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  5. Add cold milk to the flour mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon just until combined; dough should be slightly sticky but not wet.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling, aiming for about 12 dollops.
  7. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Tent loosely with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  8. Cool slightly on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before serving to let juices settle.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuit topping. Avoid overmixing biscuit dough to keep it tender. Lemon juice brightens the peach filling and balances sweetness. If peaches are less juicy, add 1-2 tablespoons water or peach juice. For extra crispness, brush biscuit tops with melted butter before baking. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable.
