Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Peach Bread
  1. Wash and dice fresh peaches into bite-sized pieces. Toss with lemon juice, 1 tbsp of sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Create a well in the dry mixture, add egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in the prepared peaches carefully, leaving the mixture slightly lumpy.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 loaf pan or line with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan.
  6. Bake for 55-65 minutes until golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
