Instructions
Peach Filling
  1. Combine peeled peaches and sugar in a large bowl.
  2. Let stand 30 minutes. Gently stir, occasionally. While letting it stand, make the crumb topping (instructions below).
  3. After the topping is made, scoop the peaches from the large bowl into a colander with a smaller bowl underneath to catch the juice.
  4. In the same large bowl that you used to hold the peeled peaches, whisk together the remaining 5 peach filling ingredients.
  5. Add 1/4 c of the drained peach juice to the above mixture in the large bowl. (If there is any juice remaining, save it for a smoothie).
  6. Return peaches to the large bowl and stir gently.
  7. Following this process helps to assure the right texture for the filling.
Crumb Topping
  1. Add all dry ingredients to a medium bowl and stir.
  2. Cut butter into small pieces and add to dry mixture.
  3. Cut with a pastry cutter until crumbly. Try not to use your fingers too much as this can melt the butter.
  4. Pour peaches mixture into a 9×9 inch pan that has been greased.
  5. Top peaches with crumb topping.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Recipe Notes

God-given health benefits I enjoy from these ingredients:

Peaches:  contains antioxidants, may help reduce anxiety, hair loss, aid heart, skin, and bladder health, and help prevent cancer.

Lemon juice: may aid in digestion, help with prevention of cancer, arthritis, kidney stones, cancer and diabetes, and strengthen your immune system to fight colds and flu.

Cinnamon:  may help lower blood sugar levels, fight heart disease, boost immunity, act as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

Nutmeg: may soothe indigestion, alleviate pain, stimulate the brain, and act as an antioxidant.

Oatmeal:  may lower the risk of “bad” cholesterol for heart health, prevent constipation, reduce risk of colon cancer.

Butter: may act as an anti-inflammatory, reduced risk of heart disease, improve immune system, aid brain development, and reduce blood pressure.

Coconut sugar:  although it contains the same amount of calories as sugar it is low on the glycemic index so may slow absorption, contains more minerals and vitamins than regular sugar, but is still not what I would call a superfood. (I eat it sparingly)

Butter: may act as an anti-inflammatory, reduced risk of heart disease, improve immune system, aid brain development, and reduce blood pressure.
