Ingredients

For the Filling

6 peaches (4 cups sliced)
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cornstarch

For the Topping

1⅓ cups rolled oats
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter cold, cubed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375℉.
Add sliced peaches to a 9x9 or oval baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar and cornstarch and toss well with your hands.
In a bowl, mix all ingredients for the topping. Mix with a fork or your hands to squeeze and incorporate the butter. Pour topping over the peaches in the pan and spread evenly but don't press down. Let a few peaches peek out here and there and around the edge.
Bake 40 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Depending on the size of your baking dish, your peaches and topping may be a bit more spread out or packed together. This is fine, use your judgment when selecting the dish! If you like more peaches and less topping, feel free to add a peach. If the topping is your favorite, you can use 1 less peach.
Make sure your peaches are ripe, a bit soft when pressed. Leave them on the counter a day or two to ripen.
Peaches do not need to be peeled.
Frozen peaches can be used, no need to thaw.
