Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
In a large bowl, toss peaches with sugars, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Let sit while you make the topping.
In another bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter using fingers or pastry cutter until crumbly. Stir in nuts if using.
Pour peach mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle topping evenly over the fruit.
Bake 40–45 minutes, until topping is golden and fruit is bubbling.
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm.

Notes

Use slightly firm peaches for best texture.
Try adding raspberries for a tart twist.
Double the topping if you prefer a thicker crisp layer.
