Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (approximately 6-7 medium peaches)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Crisp Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) - optional

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with the packed brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure that all the peach slices are well-coated. Allow the mixture to marinate for about 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavors.

      Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. If you choose to include nuts, carefully fold them into the topping mixture.

        Assemble the Crisp: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the marinated peach mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom. Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping mixture over the peaches, ensuring they are fully covered.

          Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes. You’re looking for a golden-brown topping and for the peach filling to be bubbly around the edges.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This delightful dish can be served warm on its own or enhanced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast!
