Ingredients
4 to 6 cups fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
2-3 tbsp granulated sugar
1-2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 cup brown sugar
0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
0.25 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg in a large bowl.
Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, and brown sugar.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the pecans if using.
Spread the topping evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of instant oats for the best texture. You can serve this warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
