1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1/4 teaspoon fine salt

1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss the mixture until the peaches are evenly coated in the sugary citrus blend. Once mixed, carefully spread the peach filling into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring an even layer.

      Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, and fine salt. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with some pea-sized chunks of butter remaining for that perfect crumble texture.

        Add Nuts for Flavor: If desired, stir in the chopped pecans into the crisp topping mixture for an added crunch and nutty flavor.

          Assemble the Crisp: Evenly sprinkle the oat mixture over the peach filling in the baking dish, ensuring complete coverage. This will create a delightful crispy top once baked.

            Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes. You will know it’s done when the topping is golden brown and you see the peaches bubbling around the edges.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to let the flavors meld before serving.
