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:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Note: Ensure the rack is in the center for even browning.
- 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.
- 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.
- Whisk the dry ingredients. In your large bowl, combine the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the wet and dry. Pour the hot browned butter and the milk into the flour mixture.
- Stir the dough gently until a soft, tacky dough forms. Don't overmix it, or you'll lose the fluffiness.
- Dollop the dough over the peaches in uneven mounds. Leave some gaps and crags — this is where the crispy edges happen.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until the fruit is bubbling at the edges and the crust is a deep golden brown.
