Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Add butter to a 9x13-inch baking dish and place in the oven until melted. Carefully remove dish from oven.
In a large bowl, toss peaches with ¾ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and cornstarch. Let sit for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and ¾ cup granulated sugar. Stir in milk and vanilla until just combined.
Pour batter into the baking dish over the melted butter. Do not stir.
Spoon peach mixture and juices evenly over the batter. Do not stir.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
Rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Drain canned peaches well and thaw frozen peaches fully for best texture.
