Ingredients

Peach Filling

3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
2 15 oz cans of peaches in fruit juice (one drained, one undrained)
⅓ cup brown sugar packed
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon salt

Biscuit Topping

¼ cup butter cold and grated
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk

Instructions

In a 4-quart slow cooker insert, add the melted butter, peaches, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir everything well to combine.
Combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold, grated butter and use a fork or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk just until the mixture comes together to form a thick batter.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping over the peach mixture in the slow
cooker, spreading it out as evenly as possible. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or until the topping is set and cooked through. The topping should be firm and not gooey.
Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let it stand uncovered for 15-20 minutes to
Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

To achieve the perfect biscuit texture, make sure to only stir in the milk until the mixture just comes together. Overmixing can lead to a dense, rather than fluffy, topping.
Keep an eye on the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking. The topping should be firm and not gooey; overcooking can dry it out, while undercooking may leave it soggy.
