Ingredients
  

4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced into thin wedges

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional for added texture)

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional for a delightful finish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.

    Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Gently toss the peaches to ensure they are evenly coated, which will help enhance their flavor.

      Make the Filling: Transfer the lemon-coated peaches into a greased 9-inch baking dish, spreading them out evenly to create a base layer for your crisp.

        Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. This combination will create a deliciously sweet and spiced topping.

          Add the Butter: Pour the melted butter into the dry oat mixture. Stir well until the ingredients come together and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If you’re opting for walnuts, fold them into the mix at this point for an extra crunch.

            Assemble the Crisp: Evenly distribute the oat topping over the layer of peaches in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the fruit completely for a delightful crisp texture.

              Bake: Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is beautifully golden brown and the peaches are bubbling invitingly around the edges.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, adding a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for added indulgence, if desired.
