Ingredients

• 6-8 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches (about 2-2.5 lbs)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for filling)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract (if using), and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (if using). Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt for the topping.
4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry topping ingredients. Use a pastry blender, your fingertips, or a fork to cut the butter into the mixture until coarse crumbs form. (Alternatively, pulse in a food processor a few times until crumbly).
5. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the peach filling in the baking dish.
6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and tender. If the topping browns too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil.
7. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
