Description

Enjoy a taste of summer with this easy Fresh Peach Dessert, featuring juicy peaches baked in a light, fluffy batter. Perfect for any occasion, serve it warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the peaches thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the peaches. Make a small incision at the top and slide the knife down to remove the skin.
  3. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Slice the peaches into thin wedges, about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Toss gently until the peaches are well coated. Set aside.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and baking powder. Whisk until well mixed.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and almond extract (if using). Ensure the butter isn’t too hot to avoid cooking the egg.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  9. Pour the peach mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly, including all the juices.
  10. Gently pour the batter over the peaches without stirring. The batter will spread as it bakes.
  11. Optionally, sprinkle a little additional cinnamon on top of the batter.
  12. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
  14. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
  15. Cut into squares using a spatula and serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
