Ingredients
- 4 medium, sliced into 1/2-inch wedges ripe peaches
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup, packed brown sugar
- 5 tbsp, cold and diced unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, toss 4 medium sliced peaches with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Step 2: Transfer the peach mixture to a 9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/8 tsp salt. Add 5 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
