Ingredients

• For the Peach Filling:
• 6-8 medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 6 cups)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or all-purpose flour)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
• For the Crumb Topping:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or a 9-inch round pie dish.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt for the topping.
4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry topping ingredients. Using your fingers, a pastry blender, or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
5. Evenly sprinkle the crumb 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 when pierced with a knife.
7. Let the peach crisp cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
