Equipment

  • sauté pan
  • 9x13 pan
  • measuring cups
  • Mixing Bowls
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • ½ cup unsalted butter browned
  • 6 cups frozen sliced peaches no need to thaw
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about half a medium lemon

Batter

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • cinnamon sugar to dust top of batter before baking (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prepare

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Generously spray a 9x13 glass or ceramic pan with baking spray.

Brown Butter

  • Melt butter in a stainless steel sauté pan over medium heat. Cook until foamy and crackling stops, then swirl until nutty aroma and brown bits form. Remove ¼ cup and set aside.

Make the Filling

  • Add peaches, sugars, salt, spices, and cornstarch to the pan with remaining butter. Cook until syrupy, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in bourbon, vanilla, and lemon juice.

Make the Batter

  • Whisk together sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix reserved browned butter with buttermilk. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. Reserve ½ cup of batter.

Assemble

  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Spoon peach mixture evenly over batter, then dollop reserved batter on top. Dust with cinnamon sugar if desired.

Bake

  • Bake for 45-55 minutes until bubbling and golden brown. Let sit for 20-30 minutes before serving. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

This recipe can be made with fresh or canned peaches. If using fresh, you’ll need about 12 medium peaches, peeled and sliced. For canned, use four 16-ounce cans, drained to 32 ounces.
