2. Add the flour sugar and cinnamon to the puree, then fold in the peach wedges.

*Prepare the topping:

1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.

2. For best results, freeze the butter until firm and then use a cheese grater to grate in 2 tbsp of butter into the flour mixture.

3. You can use butter milk or a mixture of greek yogurt thinned with whole milk to make 1/2 cup. Add the liquid to the flour mixture and mix to combine. The consistency should be like a wetter biscuit texture.

Bake the slump:

1. Divide the peach filling mixture between 2-4 large ramekins (depending on your size container) making sure to fill more than 2/3 full.

2. Drop the topping by spoonfuls on top of the peach filling.

3. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and bake in a 375 degree fahrenheit oven for 25-30 minutes. Serve with ice cream and enjoy!
