Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
Peel and slice the peaches into approximately 1/2-inch thick slices. Discard the pits.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peach slices with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In another bowl, prepare the topping by combining the crushed gingersnap cookies, oats, flour, melted butter, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are moistened and crumbly.
Sprinkle the gingersnap mixture evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
