This is one of my favorite summer recipes, as it features peaches and berries that are in season, but it's just as delicious with frozen fruit. The quick biscuit topping brings it all together.—Lauren Knoelke, Des Moines, Iowa

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
10 medium peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 cups)
2 cups mixed blackberries, raspberries and blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
TOPPING:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and cardamom. Add peaches, berries and lemon juice; toss to combine. Transfer to a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet.
In a small bowl, whisk the first 6 topping ingredients; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk; stir just until moistened. Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls over peach mixture.
Bake, uncovered, until topping is golden brown, 40-45 minutes. Serve warm. If desired, top with vanilla ice cream.
