Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cans of sliced peaches, thoroughly drained)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the Coconut Oat Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced fresh peaches (or canned peaches) with the granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Gently toss the mixture to coat the peach slices evenly. Transfer the peach filling into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

      Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined. Add the cold butter cubes to this mixture, using either a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the result resembles coarse crumbs.

        Assemble the Crisp: Evenly sprinkle the coconut-oat topping over the prepared peach filling in the baking dish, covering all the fruit.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in your preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping turns a rich golden brown and the peach filling begins to bubble around the edges.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the Coconut Peach Crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes. This dish is delightful served warm or at room temperature. For an indulgent touch, top each serving with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
