Ingredients
- 6 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 3 pounds)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
3 cups sliced peeled peaches
Peaches are in season from June to September. They’re known for their sweet, juicy flavor and are a great source of vitamins A and C. Peaches also contain dietary fiber, which can help you feel full longer so you don’t overeat later on in the day.
The glycemic index measures how quickly food affects your blood sugar levels after eating it; foods with a low GI (55 or less) raise blood sugar slowly over time, helping you maintain energy levels throughout your day without crashing out at any point like you might if you ate something high on the scale (like white bread).
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
For the filling:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
Brown sugar is a type of granulated sugar that has been processed to add molasses. It’s made from either cane or beets, and as such has a slightly more complex flavor than white sugar. Brown sugars also have higher moisture content than their white counterparts, which means you can use less of it in recipes without affecting the outcome (they’re often used for baking).
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
- Cut the butter into pieces. You want to cut it into thin, even slices so that they melt evenly and quickly in the oven. To do this, use a sharp knife and score the stick of butter at 1/2-inch intervals (or use a ruler or kitchen scale).
- Measure out 2 tablespoons of cold butter pieces, then place them on top of your peach mixture in step 3 below
