**Ingredients**
For the crust:
* 1 cup gluten-free oats
* 1/2 cup almond flour
* 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

**Instructions**
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the butter and use your fingers or a pastry blender to work it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Pour the peach mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top.
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
6. Let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
**Precautions**
* Be sure to use gluten-free oats and almond flour if you are following a gluten-free diet.
* Make sure to let the crisp cool completely before serving. The filling will be very hot and could cause burns if eaten while it is still warm.
