A nice summer dessert. I made this last weekend since I had several peaches that I needed to use. It was very easy and quick...peeling and slicing the fruit took the most time. AND it was a big hit with the hubby and the toddler!

Filling:
6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches
1 Tablespoon water
1 teaspoon orange juice (or lemon juice)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (I used a little more and also added some nutmeg)

Topping:
1 cup oats (I used the Quaker quick-cooking brand)
½ pound butter, softened
¾ cup flour
¾ cup brown sugar

Combine all filling ingredients and place in an ungreased, shallow baking or casserole dish (8” square or 1.5 quart size works well). Mix together, in a separate bowl, all topping ingredients so butter is worked in well. Crumble on top of fruit filling. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 – 35 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Variations: Try apples or blueberries instead of peaches. Or mix it up and combine a few different types or fruits or add some dried cranberries.
