Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400º F (200º C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and freshly grated nutmeg. Add unsalted butter and water, stir until sugars dissolve. Bring to a gentle boil for 2–3 minutes and remove from heat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until no lumps remain.
  4. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth, then fold in the diced peaches.
  5. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the warm topping mixture over it without disturbing the peach layer.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes until set in the center and golden brown. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Optionally serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For best results, use ripe peaches and allow pudding to cool sufficiently to set the topping. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
