Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • ½ cup ice water
  • 6 cups fresh peaches peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  2. Cut cold butter into the dry mix using a pastry cutter until pea-sized crumbs form.
  3. Slowly add ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough just holds together.
  4. Shape dough into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Roll chilled dough on a floured surface and press into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Trim edges.
  7. In another bowl, toss peaches with ½ cup sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  8. Pour fruit mixture over the crust, then dot with melted butter for extra richness.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles up.
  10. Let rest 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to set.
