Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice peaches and leave peelings on. Mix with ½ cup of the sugar in a large bowl and set aside.
7 to 8 large peaches
Whisk dry ingredients together (other ½ of sugar, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and cinnamon).
1 cup sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ tsp. cornstarch, 1 tsp. baking powder, ¼ tsp. salt, ⅛ tsp. cinnamon
In a food processor or mixer, add cubes of cold butter to dry ingredients until crumbly.
1 stick cold butter
Add ice cold water one tablespoon at a time and mix well. Make sure the dough is not too wet or sticky or it won't roll out. Add more flour if it's too wet.
2 to 4 Tbsp. ice cold water
Roll dough into a large ball.
With a rolling pin, roll out dough until it fits the top of a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
Place peaches mixed with sugar into baking dish. Cover with dough. Cut a few slices in top of crust.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 60 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Check after 45 minutes since ovens vary.
Notes
If crust doesn't brown after 60 minutes, brush with butter and cook under broiler until desired shade.
Use fresh peaches for best results. You can substitute frozen peaches or canned peaches in a pinch.
