  • 2/3 cup coarsely crushed graham crackers, about 5 squares

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons quick oatmeal
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  •  In a bowl, stir together granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add peaches; toss to coat. Spread into a 8" x 8" baking pan, set aside.
  • In a bowl stir together crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, oatmeal and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.

Notes

The peach skin, although edible, can become tough when cooked. To avoid this remove the skin before cooking. Blanch the peaches in boiling water about a minute then quickly plunge them into cold water to end the cooking process. The skin should come right off. Do not let them soak in the water, however.
