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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or an equivalent-sized oven-safe dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Using a spoon or spatula, dollop the topping batter over the fruit in uneven patches. It's okay if some fruit is exposed.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon for extra flavor.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Step 8

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.
