Evenly distribute the oats and almond topping over the layer of peaches in the casserole dish.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and crisp.

Taste the peach mixture before serving; if you prefer a sweeter dessert, consider stirring in a couple of tablespoons of additional brown sugar blend with the peaches before topping.

Allow it to cool slightly before serving for the best flavor experience.
