Ingredients

For the Crust & Crumble

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Peach Filling

• 2 ½ cups diced ripe peaches (peeled if preferred)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla until evenly crumbly. Set aside ¾ cup of the mixture for the topping.
3. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a compact crust.
4. In a medium bowl, combine diced peaches, lemon juice, vanilla, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until evenly coated.
5. Pour the peach mixture over the crust and spread into an even layer.
6. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top of the peaches, gently pressing

Notes

No fresh peaches? Use frozen or canned (drained and patted dry) in a pinch.

Gluten-free? Substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and certified GF oats.

Add a twist: Try mixing in blackberries or raspberries with the peaches.

Make it a dessert: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
