Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.

    In a large bowl, toss 6 cups peeled, sliced (drain if canned) fresh or canned peaches with 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, and 2 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir in 2/3 cup whole milk and 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter until just combined.
