tip

 To easily peel peaches, score the bottom with an “X” and blanch in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds or until skins start to loosen. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water and slip off skins.

Directions

 Filling: Preheat oven to 350ËšF (180ËšC). Toss peach slices with brown sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice, cornstarch, butter, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. Spread into a 9-inch (2 L) square baking dish.

Topping: Stir oats with brown sugar, almonds and flour. Cut butter in with your fingertips until crumbly. Toss in maple syrup. Sprinkle evenly over the peach mixture.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Cool slightly before serving.
