Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Peaches: Carefully slice the peaches in half and remove the pits. Arrange the peach halves, cut-side up, in a lightly greased baking dish.

      Make the Topping: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, rolled oats, and chopped nuts. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract, then add a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture resembles a crumbly topping.

        Fill the Peaches: Generously spoon the oat mixture into the hollow center of each peach half. Press down gently to ensure the filling adheres securely to the peaches.

          Bake the Peaches: Add approximately 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the baking dish, which will create steam while baking and keep the peaches moist. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

            Uncover and Continue Baking: After 20 minutes, carefully remove the foil and continue baking the peaches for an additional 10-15 minutes. Look for the peaches to become tender and the topping to turn a lovely golden brown color.

              Serve: Once baked, allow the peaches to cool for a few minutes before serving. They are delightful warm, especially with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or a dollop of tangy Greek yogurt.

                Garnish (Optional): For extra flair, consider drizzling the baked peaches with honey or sprinkling additional ground cinnamon on top before serving.
