Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium peaches
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sparkling sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously butter a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
- Peel and slice the peaches into eight wedges each; place them on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate, smoothing the top. Arrange peach slices on top and sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F, then reduce temperature to 325°F and bake for an additional 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool before slicing and serve as desired.
