Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

4 large ripe peaches, sliced (approximately 4 cups)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Coconut Crisp Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or unsalted butter, melted)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional for Serving:

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Extra toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot when your crisp is ready to bake.

    Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Gently toss the peaches to coat them evenly. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes, which helps the flavors meld beautifully.

      Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter) and maple syrup, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it becomes crumbly and well combined, ensuring a nice balance of texture.

        Assemble the Crisp: Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish (or a similarly sized ovenproof dish) with a little coconut oil or butter. Evenly distribute the peach mixture over the bottom of the dish. Next, sprinkle the coconut crisp topping generously over the peaches, making sure it covers all the fruit evenly.

          Bake: Carefully place the assembled dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping turns a golden brown and the peach filling starts to bubble enticingly.

            Serve: Once baked, remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This cooling period helps the filling slightly thicken. For a delectable indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and sprinkle some extra toasted coconut flakes on top if desired.

              Enjoy: Delight in the tropical flavors of this coconut peach crisp while it’s warm, savoring the perfect blend of textures and tastes straight from the oven!
