Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325°F. Spread the oats out on a cookie sheet and pop them in the oven to toast for about 5 minutes. Then, toss in the almonds and toast everything together for another 5 minutes. Once done, take the pan out and transfer the oats and almonds to a mixing bowl.

Next, stir in the brown sugar and melted butter until everything is well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Pop it into the fridge to chill while you work on the filling.

Why you’ll love it
This dessert combines the sweet juiciness of fresh peaches with creamy layers and a crunchy crust. It’s light, refreshing, and perfect for warm days. Everyone will enjoy its balance of flavors and textures.
How to serve
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. It pairs nicely with a cup of iced tea or a light white wine. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
Storage & leftovers
Keep the pie covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. It’s best eaten within 2-3 days. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the layers may change and become watery when thawed.
