01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Butter a 2-qt baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the peaches, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt. Mix well to coat the peaches evenly.

04 - Transfer the peaches to the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top.
05 - Bake the crisp for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
