• Gather the ingredients so you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Preheat oven to 400℉.
• Using a pairing knife, peel, core, and slice 4 cups fresh peaches. Place in a large bowl.

Prepare the Peaches

• In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 4 teaspoons cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated). Add 1/2 cup water to mixture and cook till sauce thickens.
• Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon butter to the sauce, then pour over the peaches. Stir to combine.

Make the Topping

• To prepare your topping, in a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Cut in 1/4 cup butter until mixture is crumbly. Create a hole in the center and add 1 large egg and 1/4 cup whole milk. Whisk together with a fork and then blend in with the flour mixture until moist.
• Pour hot fruit mixture into a greased square baking dish. Spoon biscuit topping over peaches by small mounds, flattening them out with the spoon or your fingers.
• Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons decorating sugar to garnish. Bake in preheated oven for 35-45 minutes until topping is cooked through. Be sure to check the topping in the center with a fork to test if it is fully baked. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping. Serves 4-6.
