Ingredients
Scale
- 6–7 medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (90g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (65g) rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel, pit, and slice peaches into ½-inch thick wedges.
- Toss peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add cold cubed butter and cut into mixture until coarse crumbs form.
- Pour peach mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle oat topping evenly over peaches without pressing down.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices bubble. If topping browns too fast, cover loosely with foil and continue baking.
- Remove from oven and cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
If peaches are extra juicy, add up to 3 tablespoons cornstarch to prevent soggy bottom. Use cold butter for crumbly topping. Cover with foil if topping browns too quickly. Peeling peaches is optional. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free flour. For dairy-free, replace butter with solid coconut oil.
