Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Peach Filling:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  2. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, gently toss peaches with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Transfer to prepared dish.
  3. Make Topping: In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts if using.
