Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1½ cups diced fresh or canned peaches (drained if using canned)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Cut each biscuit in half and flatten slightly to create small discs for layering.
- Mix Sugar and Spices: In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg thoroughly.
- Coat Peaches: Toss the diced peaches in 1 tablespoon of the sugar-spice mixture and set aside to absorb flavors.
- Butter Biscuit Pieces: Brush each biscuit piece with melted butter, then sprinkle them evenly with the remaining sugar mixture for added sweetness and spice.
- Layer Bread: Place a few peach pieces on each buttered biscuit piece, then stack the biscuit pieces vertically into the loaf pan with the cut side down. Repeat until all biscuit pieces and peaches are used.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm bread and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- This recipe works well with fresh, canned, or thawed frozen peaches, making it versatile year-round.
- Add chopped pecans for extra crunch and texture.
- For a spiced version, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger to the sugar mixture.
- If using canned peaches, be sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
- Letting the bread cool slightly before glazing ensures the glaze doesn’t melt away completely.
