Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 4 cups fresh ripe peaches Can substitute with mixed berries or a peach-blueberry combo for variety.

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice Freshly squeezed is preferred for best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) A pinch can elevate the overall taste profile.
For the Crust and Topping
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can use a gluten-free baking blend for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adjust the amount based on peach ripeness.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Light or dark brown sugar can be used interchangeably.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cold butter. Mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1 cup for topping. Press remaining mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
  2. Bake the prepared crust in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  3. While the crust is cooling, wash and slice your fresh peaches. Toss with cornstarch, lemon juice, and optional cinnamon until well coated.
  4. Spread the peach filling evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the peach filling.
  5. Bake for approximately 35-50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If needed, cover with foil after 25 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing.
