Ingredients
Scale
For the peach filling:
- 6 cups fresh or frozen sliced peaches (thawed if frozen)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (or 3 tbsp if using very juicy peaches)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
For the triple biscuit crust:
- 2½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks / 170g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for extra tenderness)
For topping:
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
- Optional: 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13″ baking dish.
- Make filling: In a large bowl, toss peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour into baking dish.
- Make biscuit dough: In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined (do not overmix).
- Layer crust:
- Bottom layer: Drop ⅓ of dough in spoonfuls over peaches.
- Middle layer: After 15 minutes of baking, add another ⅓.
- Top layer: After 30 minutes, add final ⅓.
→ Alternatively, for easier assembly: divide dough into 3 portions. Layer first ⅓ directly on peaches, then bake 15 min; add second layer, bake 15 min; add final layer, bake 20–25 min more.
- Finish: For shine, brush top with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake total 50–60 minutes, until crust is deep golden and filling bubbles at edges.
- Cool 15–20 minutes before serving (filling will thicken as it cools).
💡 Pro Tips:
– Use ripe but firm peaches—overripe ones can make filling too runny.
– For extra flavor, add ½ tsp almond extract to the filling.
– Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
