Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and diced

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced, with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon, tossing gently to coat the fruit evenly.

- Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly combined.
- Step 4: Cut 6 tbsp chilled and diced unsalted butter into the dry mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
- Step 5: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches in the baking dish.
- Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Step 7: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken slightly.
