Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated.
3
Transfer the peach mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
5
Add the cold cubed butter to the oat mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
6
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peach layer.
7
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the topping is deep golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
8
Remove from the oven and let the peach crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set.
