Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

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

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tablespoon 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, cubed

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

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Gently toss to combine, ensuring the peaches are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.

      Make the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter to the mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If you're including nuts, fold them in gently.

        Assemble the Crisp: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the peach mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crisp topping over the peaches, covering them completely.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.

            Cool and Serve: Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. It’s delightful served warm, either plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
