Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter or spray a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated, then spread into the prepared baking dish.
Make the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir with a fork until moist clumps form. Fold in pecans, if using.
Assemble: Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the peach mixture, covering it from corner to corner without pressing it down.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
Cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes to set the juices. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Fresh or frozen peaches both work. If using frozen, thaw completely and pat dry; add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch if the fruit seems very juicy.To peel peaches easily, score an "X" on the bottoms, blanch in simmering water for 30 to 45 seconds, then shock in ice water and slip off the skins.Leftovers keep 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. Rewarm in a 325°F oven for 10 minutes to re-crisp the topping, or microwave individual portions briefly until heated through.
