PREPARE PEACHES – Fresh peaches need peeled, pitted, and cut into 1 inch pieces. Canned peaches need drained and cut into 1 inch pieces. The cut pieces of pieces of peaches (whether fresh or canned) should be 4 cups.
PREHEAT - preheat the oven to 375° F
COMBINE PEACH FILLING - dump the prepared peaches and vanilla into the baking pan. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the peaches and vanilla then stir to coat the peaches.
MIX CAKE BATTER - combine all the ingredients together and drop dollops of the cake batter on top of the peach filling. OPTIONAL: sprinkle coarse sugar over top of the cake batter
BAKE - bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling up.
SERVE WARM - add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
TIP: When using canned peaches, dump the peach slices in a colander and let sit for several minutes to ensure all the juices drain off.
STORAGE: cover tightly and store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days
