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

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously butter a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
Peel and slice the peaches into eighths and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract at low speed until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined; pour into the prepared pie plate.
Arrange peach slices on top of the batter and sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
Bake for about 60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Keywords: For optimal flavor, use ripe peaches that are firm yet slightly soft to the touch. Substitute buttermilk with yogurt mixed with water if needed for a similar tangy taste. Serve warm or allow to cool completely before slicing; it pairs well with fresh berries or drizzled honey.
