Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., peaches, berries, or apples)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for fruit filling)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or an equivalent-sized oven-safe dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the fruit, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, but do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
Using a spoon or spatula, dollop the topping batter over the fruit in uneven patches. It's okay if some fruit is exposed.
If desired, sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
