🍑 Ingredients You'll Need

Peaches: Fresh, ripe ones are best, but canned (drained) or frozen (thawed) work too.
Brown sugar + granulated sugar: Adds sweetness. Substitute maple syrup, cane sugar, or coconut sugar if needed.
Lemon juice: Brightens things up and keeps the peaches from tasting flat.
Vanilla extract or almond extract.
Ground cinnamon: A must with peaches.
Rolled oats: The key to that crumbly, crisp topping. Quick oats work too.
All-purpose flour: Helps bind the topping. Gluten-free flour works too.
Unsalted butter: Cold and cubed.

Can I Use Canned or Frozen Peaches?

Yes! Canned peaches should be well-drained. Frozen peaches need to be thawed and patted dry. Fresh is best when they're in season, but this recipe doesn't discriminate.

Do I Have to Peel the Peaches?

Nope. I usually don't. The skins soften while cooking and give a little texture. But if you're not into it, peel away.
