Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain the sliced peaches and place them in a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Combine quick oats, self-rising flour, brown sugar, and butter to make a crumbly mixture.
- Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the peaches.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes.
- Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider substituting the self-rising flour with almond flour for a gluten-free option. You can also use honey or maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different sweetness profile. Ensure the butter is softened to make mixing easier, and if you like a crunchier topping, add some chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the crumb mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful dish warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast. It pairs beautifully with Easy Home Style Potato Salad for a full meal. Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra flavor, or serve with fresh whipped cream for a lighter option.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place a portion in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds until warmed through. You can also reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to restore its crispiness.
