Servings: 9 servings
Calories: 304kcal
Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen unsweetened sliced peaches thawed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a small 9 X 9 cake pan with baking spray or cover with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a bowl, add peaches, white sugar, and cinnamon. Toss together to mix well.
- Mix softened butter, oats, flour, brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon in a small bowl, until large crumbs form. A pastry cutter or potato masher helps make quick work of this.
- Set aside about 2 cups of the mixture, this doesn’t have to be exact.
- Spread the remaining mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan and press lightly. Use part of the remaining crumbs if necessary to form a uniform crust.
- Drain the peaches. Add vanilla and stir, mixing well. Sprinkle the peaches with cornstarch stir again until incorporated.
- Arrange peaches over the crust.
- Drizzle any remaining cornstarch infused liquid over the peaches.
- Sprinkle remaining oat mix over the peach layer. It’s OK if all the peaches are not covered.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top begins to turn golden brown.
Notes
- Thaw frozen peaches before using.
- 2 cups of fresh peach slices can be substituted for frozen. Peel and pit the peaches before slicing.
- 2 cups of canned peaches can be substituted. Drain canned peaches before using.
- Additional cinnamon can be added to the crumb mixture during the mixing for extra cinnamon flavor.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt the crumb mixture if using unsalted butter.
