Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Coconut Crisp Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)

1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Toss gently until the peaches are well coated. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish or an equivalent size.

      Make the Coconut Crisp Topping: In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

        Add the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter (or coconut oil) to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger clumps.

          Assemble the Crisp: Evenly spread the coconut crisp topping over the peach filling in the baking dish. If using almonds, sprinkle them over the top for an extra crunch.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.

              Cool and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to set slightly.

                Optional Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful complement to the crispness!
