• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare filling:
   • In a bowl, mix peaches, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
   • Pour into a 9×13-inch baking dish (or similar size).
3. Make topping:
   • In another bowl, whisk flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt.
   • Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
   • Add boiling water and mix until just combined (batter will be thick).
4. Assemble & bake:
   • Drop spoonfuls of topping over peaches (it will spread as it bakes).
   • Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar if desired.
   • Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
5. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream!

Tips:

• Canned peaches? Use 2 (15-oz) cans (drained), reduce sugar slightly.
• No cornstarch? Substitute 3 tbsp flour.
• Extra crispy topping? Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).
