Shortcut Savvy: To save prep time, or if peaches aren't in season, substitute 1 (16-ounce) package of frozen sliced peaches, thawed and undrained. To omit almond paste, stir 1 teaspoon almond extract into the sugar mixture before tossing with the peaches. Then increase the oats to 3/4 cup and the butter to 3 tablespoons in the topping. Simplify by baking the entire dessert in an 8-inch square baking dish.
