How to Make It

Preheat

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
   This ensures even baking and a golden top.

Combine Peaches

2. Combine the peaches and 1/2 cup of sugar in a bowl, and set aside.

   Make sure to whisk well for even distribution.

Stir Wet Ingredients

4. Stir in the wet ingredients: milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until just combined.
   Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Pour Batter

5. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
   This will form the base for the delicious peach topping.

Add Peach Mixture

6. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter.
   Spread it evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.

Sprinkle Sugar

7. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top.
   This will create a beautiful crust that’s slightly crunchy.

Bake

8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
   Keep an eye on it as oven times can vary.

Serve

9. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors!
   Perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
