By á-38816

Ingredients

• 6-8 fresh, ripe peaches (about 5 cups), peeled and sliced
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups sugar, divided
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (about 1 minute in the microwave will do)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
Pour melted butter in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
In a medium sized bowl sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar (reserve the other cup for the peaches), 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add in 1 cup milk and stir just until all ingredients are combined. Pour the batter over the butter. DO NOT STIR.
In a large saucepan, combine sliced peaches, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour the peach mixture evenly over the batter. DO NOT STIR *Note: One option for modifying this recipe to make it less sweet is to use 1/2 cup of sugar here. Also, the order is correct. Butter, batter, peaches. During baking, the batter rises above the peaches!
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Cool slightly before serving.
