Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for batter
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 cups sliced peeled peaches fresh or frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups water for syrup
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed, for syrup
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  • Add milk and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the sliced peaches.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • In a saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugars dissolve.
  • Slowly pour the hot syrup over the batter. Do not stir.
  • Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cool slightly before serving. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If using frozen peaches, be sure to thaw and drain them first. Canned peaches work too—just reduce the sugar slightly. Place a baking sheet under your dish to catch any syrup overflow.
