**Peach Crisp**
**Ingredients:**
– 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat Your Oven:** Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish to prepare it for your delicious peach crisp.
2. **Prepare the Peaches:** Peel and slice fresh peaches until you have 6 cups of fruit. Spread the sliced peaches evenly in the greased baking dish to form the base of your tasty dessert.
3. **Mix the Crisp Topping:** In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. **Add the Butter:** Add the cubed cold butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and the butter is well incorporated.
5. **Top the Peaches:** Sprinkle the crisp topping mixture evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Make sure to cover all the peaches with a generous layer of the topping.
6. **Bake Until Golden:** Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the peach crisp for about 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
7. **Cool and Serve:** Once baked, allow the peach crisp to cool slightly before serving. This dessert is best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
8. **Store Any Leftovers:** If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick and delightful treat.
