  vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and toss to combine.
• 3 Transfer the peaches mixture to the greased 8×8 baking pan and spread into an
  even layer.
• 4 Sprinkle the brown sugar over the peach mixture.
• 5 Bake the peach mixture for 10 minutes.
• 6 Meanwhile, add the flour 1/2 cup of the sugar, salt, and the baking powder to a
  separate mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• 7 Chop the chilled butter into very small pieces with a sharp knife.
• 8 Add to the bowl and combine with the dry ingredients with your fingers until
  small pebble-sized pieces form.
• 9 Add the heavy cream and the water to the flour mixture and stir with a fork
  until all the dry ingredients are moist and somewhat sticky. Be careful not to
  overwork your dough.
• 10 Remove the baking pan with the peach mixture from the oven and carefully spoon
  the dough over the top making sure the dough is the same thickness throughout.
  For a more rustic look, leave spaces between your spoonfuls of dough as
  pictured.
• 11 Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top
  begins to brown.
• 12 Meanwhile, add your egg white to a small bowl with a teaspoon of water and mix
  well to create an egg white wash.
• 13 Remove from the oven and brush the top with the egg white wash and sprinkle the
  remaining sugar on top.
• 14 Return to the oven to finish baking, approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove from
  the oven when the tops are golden brown.
• 15 Allow the pan to cool slightly before serving with ice cream or whipped cream!
