Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling
  • 6 ripe peaches Choose freestone varieties for easy slicing and maximum sweetness.
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar Adjust according to the natural sweetness of your peaches.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice This adds a refreshing zing and balances the sweetness.
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch Helps thicken the peach mixture for that perfect pie filling texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Elevates the flavor and brings warmth to your peach filling.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) Adds a cozy spice that pairs beautifully with the peaches.
For the Biscuit Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour The base for our fluffy topping; swap for a gluten-free flour blend if needed.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar Sweetens the biscuit topping for a delightful contrast with the peaches.
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder This leavens the topping, ensuring a light and airy result.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt A must for enhancing flavors throughout the dish.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed) Creates that flaky texture in the biscuit topping; keep it cold to avoid melting.
  • ¼ cup boiling water This helps hydrate the dry ingredients, turning them into a sticky dough.
  • coarse sugar (optional for sprinkling) Gives the top a delightful crunch with extra sweetness.
