Tips

NoteBuy the peaches a couple of days ahead and let them ripen on the counter — the oven won't fix rock-hard fruit.
NoteI don't peel the peaches; the thin skins soften while they bake.
NoteCover leftovers and refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat at 350°F to bring back the crunch.

Frequently asked

Do I have to peel the peaches?+

No — the skins soften in the oven and add a little color. Peel only if the skins are thick or blemished.

Can I use frozen peaches?+

Yes — do not thaw them first; toss with the filling ingredients and add about 5 extra minutes of bake time.

Can I make it gluten-free?+

Yes — use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend in both the filling and the topping, and make sure your oats are certified gluten-free.
