Ingredients
-
For the Filling
- 2 pounds peaches or nectarines, cut into 1/2-inch wedges (6 cups)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
-
For the Topping
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup light-brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: Combine peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish.
- Make the topping: In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and brown sugar on medium until light and fluffy. Add flour and salt and, with your hands, mix until large pieces form. Scatter over filling.
- Bake until center is bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes, tenting loosely with foil after 30 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.
Cook's Note
Add a cup of raspberries or blueberries to peach or apricot, or strawberries to rhubarb.
The topping freezes well, so why not make a double batch and save half for another day?
