Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped peeled peaches (about 1 & 1/2 to 2 medium peaches) Juicy, vibrant peaches serve as the base.
  • 1 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar Adds a rich, caramel-like depth.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract Elevates the overall flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch Thickens the peach juices.
Topping Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats Provides a hearty texture.
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Creates a delicate, crumbly topping.
  • 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar Ensures balanced sweetness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Intertwines with other flavors.
  • pinch salt Enhances all flavors.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cut into cubes) Creates a delightful crumble.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped peaches, brown sugar, vanilla or almond extract, and cornstarch. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly, then divide the mixture between two 6- to 8-ounce capacity baking dishes.
  3. In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until it forms crumbly bits.
  4. Sprinkle the crunchy topping evenly over the peach filling in each baking dish. Place the dishes on a lined, rimmed baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the topping is lightly browned and the peach filling is bubbling.
  2. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally with ice cream.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding nuts to the topping or experimenting with spices like nutmeg or cardamom.
