Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups fresh or frozen sliced peeled peaches, thawed
TOPPING:
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, mix the first six ingredients. Add peaches and toss to combine. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. or 8-in. square baking dish. Bake 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, rosemary and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix water and extracts; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.
Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls over peach mixture. Bake, uncovered, 20-25 minutes longer or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Serve warm. If desired, top with ice cream.
