Ingredients
- 5 medium, peeled and sliced ripe peaches
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp, cold and diced unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss 5 medium peeled and sliced peaches with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until peaches are evenly coated.
- Step 2: Transfer the peach mixture to a greased 8x8 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

- Step 4: Add 6 tablespoons cold, diced unsalted butter to the oat mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 5: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches.
- Step 6: Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons honey over the topping for extra sweetness.
- Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
- Step 8: Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
