Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss sliced peaches with sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated. Spread the peaches evenly into your baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
- Add cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
- Stir in the toasted almonds to add crunch and a nutty flavor to the topping.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the peaches in the baking dish, pressing lightly to create an even layer.
- Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. The aroma of baked peaches and toasted almonds will fill the kitchen, signaling it’s ready to enjoy.
Notes
For added richness, stir a vanilla bean into the fruit filling before baking. Keep an eye on the topping to prevent over-browning; cover with foil if necessary. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
