Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and slice them into even wedges. Set them aside.
In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, all the brown sugar, and water. Heat over medium-high, stirring constantly until the sugars dissolve and the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and salt.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and pour it into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Gently mix the milk and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients until just combined, forming a batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Arrange the peach slices on top of the batter, distributing them evenly.
Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the peaches.
Carefully pour the hot sugar syrup over the peaches and batter. Again, do not stir. The syrup will sink to the bottom and create a sauce as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
