Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups peach slices about 4-5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom for a warm, aromatic flavor
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until uniform. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
  3. 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.
  4. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches in the baking dish, covering the fruit completely.
  5. 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.
  6. Allow the peach crisp to cool slightly before serving. Spoon into bowls and enjoy the warm, juicy fruit topped with crunchy, spiced oats.
