Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced into chunks
  • 1/4 cup (50g) maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp (8g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Note: Ensure the rack is in the center for even browning.
  2. Toss the peach chunks in the 9x9 inch baking dish with maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch until the fruit is velvety and coated.
  3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the butter foams and small brown specks appear with a nutty aroma. Remove it from the heat immediately so it doesn't burn.
  4. Whisk the dry ingredients. In your large bowl, combine the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine the wet and dry. Pour the hot browned butter and the milk into the flour mixture.
  6. Stir the dough gently until a soft, tacky dough forms. Don't overmix it, or you'll lose the fluffiness.
  7. Dollop the dough over the peaches in uneven mounds. Leave some gaps and crags — this is where the crispy edges happen.
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the fruit is bubbling at the edges and the crust is a deep golden brown.
