Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/4 cup of the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat and set aside.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4
Stir the milk into the dry ingredients until just combined, then mix in the melted butter until a smooth batter forms.
5
Pour the batter into an ungreased 8x8-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
6
Spoon the peach mixture (along with any juices) over the batter. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
7
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
8
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
