1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix peaches, lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and salt. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Bake the peach filling for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add grated butter and toss. Stir in boiling water until lumpy.
Spoon topping over hot peach filling. Mix 1/3 cup sugar with 2 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle over topping.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch drips. Let cool slightly and serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
