Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl use a whisk to combine the lemon juice, almond extract, and cornstarch. Add the peaches, strawberries, and sugar and toss the mixture lightly with a wooden spoon until well combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

In a medium mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter with brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the flour, oats, almonds, and salt, stirring with a wooden spoon until well incorporated. Use your hands to knead the mixture until it is crumbly. Sprinkle the crumbled mixture evenly over the peaches and strawberries.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until browned and bubbly. Allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Serve warm with ice cream.
