Now that it’s the season of all things “pumpkin” I thought I’d share with you a family favorite. It’s one of those things that if you start eating it you can’t stop. SO…consider yourself warned!

4 c flour
2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice

INGREDIENTS
4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
2 cups sugar, divided
DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt. Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Happy Baking!
