Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain the canned peaches and mix with cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

- Combine oats, melted butter, and brown sugar until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture over the peaches.
- Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on the classic flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the peach mixture. If you don't have quick oats, rolled oats can be used, but they may take a bit longer to bake. To enhance the crunch, try adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the oat topping.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Golden Peach Crunch warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with the flavors of Nuteena A La King, making it a delightful end to a meal. For a refreshing contrast, consider serving it alongside a simple green salad.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Golden Peach Crunch can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick treat, but the topping may lose some of its crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! If using fresh peaches, peel and slice about 4-5 peaches. You may need to adjust the amount of cornstarch slightly, as fresh peaches contain more moisture. Just be sure to mix them with the other ingredients as directed for the same delicious result.
Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?
Yes, for a gluten-free version, simply substitute quick oats with certified gluten-free oats. Also, check that your brown sugar is gluten-free, which it typically is, but it's always good to verify the label to be safe.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the peach mixture and oat topping separately a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator and combine them just before baking. This allows the flavors to meld nicely while ensuring you can enjoy a fresh, warm dessert when you're ready.
