  2. Halve, peel, pit & slice peaches into med size bowl. Add rest of filling ingredients & mix.
  3. Place all streusel ingredients in small bowl except butter and nuts. 4. Using a pastry blender or two knives criss-crossing repeatedly, cut butter into rest of ingredients until the size of peas.
  4. Put all filling into a buttered casserole dish or glass baking pan so that the filling is not too thick, it’s that streusel topping we all want more of.
