Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Coconut Crisp Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g. pecans or walnuts, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss until the peaches are fully coated with the mixture, ensuring even distribution of the flavors.

        Assemble the Peach Filling:

          - Transfer the peach mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly across the bottom, making sure there are no gaps.

            Make the Coconut Crisp Topping:

              - In a separate mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, shredded coconut, brown sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are combined.

                - Add the cubed cold butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If you’re including nuts for added crunch, fold them in gently at this point.

                  Bake the Crisp:

                    - Evenly sprinkle the coconut crisp topping over the peach filling, ensuring the topping is well distributed to cover all of the peaches.

                      - Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

                        Cool and Serve:

                          - Once finished baking, remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes to set.

                            - Serve warm, with an optional scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

                                - Presentation Tips: For an eye-catching finish, serve the crisp in individual ramekins topped with a sprig of mint for a pop of color, and drizzle a little honey or caramel sauce over the top.
