Ingredients

For the Peach Filling:

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Coconut Crisp Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work well, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Peaches:

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated.

Assemble the Peach Filling:

- Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly across the bottom.

Make the Coconut Crisp Topping:

- In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, shredded coconut, brown sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly.

- Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If you’re adding nuts, stir them in at this point.

Bake the Crisp:

- Evenly distribute the coconut crisp topping over the peach filling, making sure to cover all the peaches.

- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling up around the edges.

Cool and Serve:

- Once baked, remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes.

- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
