Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches with granulated sugar, light brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss gently.
  • Pour the peach mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the boiling water until just combined to form a thick batter.
  • Spoon dollops of batter over the peach filling, leaving gaps.
  • Sprinkle optional cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter if desired.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  • Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
