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:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peach mixture.
5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the peaches are bubbling.
6. 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.
