Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Make the fruit filling: In a large bowl, combine peaches, raspberries, 0.75 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Toss gently to coat.
Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish and set aside.
Make the biscuit topping: In a medium bowl whisk together flour, 0.25 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.
Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
Spoon or scoop mounds of dough over the fruit, leaving small gaps for steam. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar.
Bake until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling thickly around the edges, 35 to 45 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil after 25 minutes.
Cool for 15 minutes to let the juices set. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For frozen fruit, do not thaw; increase cornstarch to 3 tablespoons. To make gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and check baking powder is GF. Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; rewarm in a 325°F oven until bubbly.
