Ingredients:
For the Peach Filling:
- 6 fresh ripe peaches (or 5 cups sliced), peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (halal-certified)
For the Crisp Topping:
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes (or use plant-based butter for dairy-free)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla. Pour mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a fork or your hands to mix until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peach mixture.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the peaches are bubbling.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with ice cream or cream.
Notes:
- You can use canned or frozen peaches if fresh ones are out of season (just adjust sugar levels).
- For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats and almond or oat flour.
- Make it dairy-free by using coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for extra crunch.
