The pairing of sweet sliced fresh or frozen peaches with the zesty spicy ginger root is a match made in the ultimate crisp nirvana. And to literally top it all off, a simple rolled oat streusel topping for texture and for that oh-so-good homey aroma and freshly baked taste.
Combine sliced peaches with the lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, freshly grated ginger and powdered ginger in a large bowl. Mix everything together well. Note: If you're using frozen peaches, allow them to thaw for a couple hours. Be sure to add the lemon juice to them so they don't brown too much while thawing.
In another bowl, combine together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, vegan butter and pinch of sea salt, and mash with a fork (or with your hands - it's more fun) until fine and pebbly textured.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the peaches to an 8x8 baking dish, spread the streusel topping over the peaches evenly, and bake in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling through. Serve with coconut ice cream, or else!Note: you have the option to broil the top of the streusel topping for a few seconds, to really get it nice and crispy. Be careful if you do this, as it can easily burn.
