Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, slice your ripe peaches and combine them with sugar and optional spices like cinnamon. Toss gently until well-coated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter and milk to the dry ingredient mixture and stir gently until just combined.

Grease your baking dish, pour the peach filling evenly, then spoon the batter over the peaches, allowing some to peek through.

Bake for approximately 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
