Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Baking dish (9×13 inches)
• Mixing bowls
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk
• Pastry cutter or forks
• Oven

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 6-8 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
   • Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
3. Make the Topping:
   • In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
   • Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Assemble the Crisp:
   • Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the peach filling, making sure to cover all the peaches.
5. Bake:
   • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the peach crisp to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set slightly.
   • Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
