Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and lemon juice until well coated. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until uniform. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
- Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This creates a flaky, crunchy topping.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches in the baking dish, covering the fruit completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling, about 35 minutes. The kitchen will fill with a warm, spicy aroma as it bakes.
- Allow the peach crisp to cool slightly before serving. Spoon into bowls and enjoy the warm, juicy fruit topped with crunchy, spiced oats.
