Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 425°F and place a large baking sheet covered with foil on the lowest rack to catch drips.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches and lemon juice, then stir in white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch to coat. Pour mixture into a 9x13 baking dish.
Bake the peach mixture for 10 minutes while you prepare the topping by combining flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Toss in grated chilled butter and stir in boiling water until combined with lumps remaining.
Remove peaches from oven and drop the topping over them in spoonfuls. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture and bake for about 28 minutes until crust is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Freezer Directions: Prepare and freeze peach filling in an airtight bag for up to one year. Thaw in refrigerator before baking.
Notes
