9 cups of thinly sliced peaches
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon of salt

For the topping: 12 tablespoons of chilled and grated butter
1/2 cup of boiling water
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
