Toss them in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. This keeps them fresh and bright. Add 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Mix gently until all the peaches are coated. Spread this peach mixture in the baking dish evenly. 3. Next, make the oat topping.

Ingredients
  

6 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure to grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with the lemon juice. This will enhance their flavor and prevent browning. Add in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg, mixing until the peaches are evenly coated. Transfer this mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out to create an even layer.

      In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Use your fingers or a fork to blend these ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This crumbly topping will create a perfect crunchy texture for your dessert.

        Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish, ensuring every peach slice is covered with a generous layer.

          Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye out for the filling to become bubbly and the topping to turn a delightful golden brown color.

            Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This cooling period helps the juices to settle and makes it easier to serve.
