Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (29 oz each) sliced peaches in heavy syrup
  • 1 tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the 1/2 cup of melted butter directly into a 9x13 inch ceramic or glass baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom and corners.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, prepare the fruit base. Drain one can of peaches and leave the other with its syrup. Combine both cans of peaches with 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and the reserved syrup from the second can.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of whole milk until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
  5. Spoon the spiced peach mixture and syrup evenly over the batter. Do not stir, as the batter will rise through the fruit during baking.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a mahogany-colored crust has formed.
