Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6-8 medium peaches)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss until the peaches are well-coated. Transfer to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly. Fold in chopped nuts if desired.
Evenly distribute the oat topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
Allow the peach crisp to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
