Ingredients

• 6 medium (about 6 cups sliced) Fresh peaches
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons (divided) Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0 Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 2

Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and slice them into thin wedges. Place the sliced peaches into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt to the peaches. Mix well to coat evenly, then set aside to let the juices release slightly.

Step 4

In a medium skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the fresh breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Spread half of the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the toasted breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Add the remaining peaches over the breadcrumb layer, then sprinkle the rest of the breadcrumbs on top.

Step 7

Dot the top layer with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the dessert cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
