Ingredients
- 5 cups, peeled and sliced fresh peaches
- 1/2 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 sliced almonds
- 1/3 cup, packed brown sugar

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, toss 5 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly coated. Transfer to a 9x9-inch baking dish.

- Step 3: Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the oat-almond topping evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Drizzle 1 tsp vanilla extract over the topping for extra aroma.
- Step 5: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.
- Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
