Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

6 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

For the Oat Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.

    Prepare the Peach Filling:

      - In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced peaches along with the granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

        - Gently toss the ingredients together using your hands or a spatula until the peaches are perfectly coated in the mixture.

          - Transfer this delicious peach mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly for even cooking.

            Make the Oat Topping:

              - In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients to blend them well.

                - Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture, using a fork or spatula to mix until it becomes crumbly. If you’re using nuts, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for an extra crunchy texture.

                  Assemble the Crisp:

                    - Evenly spread the oat topping over the peach filling in the baking dish, ensuring that all the peaches are covered to prevent browning during baking.

                      Bake:

                        - Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Keep an eye out for the topping to turn golden brown and for the peach filling to bubble up around the edges.

                          Cool and Serve:

                            - Once baked, remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes. This cooling step will help the filling to thicken slightly, making it easier to serve.

                              - Serve warm, with an optional topping of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent experience.
