Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (900g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (80g) honey
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1.5 cups (190g) whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 3 tbsp (21g) granulated cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) low-fat milk
  • 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the peach mixture and stir gently; let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the juices to thicken into a glossy syrup.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish, spreading them evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, salt, and cane sugar until no clumps remain.
  5. Stir in the low-fat milk and melted butter. Mix until just combined; the batter should be thick but pourable.
  6. Spoon the batter over the peaches, spreading it to the edges with a spatula.
  7. Place in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is a deep mahogany-gold and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
