Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (900g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  2. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated and let them sit for 5 minutes to allow the juices to release.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading the fruit into an even layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt.
  5. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or forks to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches, ensuring the edges are covered to prevent bubbling over.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is mahogany-colored and filling is bubbling vigorously around the edges.
  9. Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
