# What You'll Need:

01 - 6 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (approximately 2.5 lbs)
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - Pinch of salt

10 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
11 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
13 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated. Transfer this mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread uniformly.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and work it into the dry ingredients with fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
04 - Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit filling. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the fruit filling bubbles at the edges.
