Ingredients
Scale
🧈 For the Crust and Topping:
- 2½ cups (350g) all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (140g) granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¼ cups (280g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar (preferably dark)
🍑 For the Peach Filling:
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (35g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 5 cups peeled and chopped peaches (about 7–8 medium peaches)
- 6 tbsp (90ml) heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Make the Crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Form Crust Base: Press ⅔ of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Make Crumble Topping: Add brown sugar to the remaining ⅓ of dough. Optionally, stir in ½ cup oats or chopped nuts. Set aside.
- Prepare Peach Filling: In a separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add the chopped peaches and toss to coat. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla if using.
- Assemble: Spread peach filling evenly over the baked crust. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches.
- Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
- Cool & Chill: Let bars cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can add oats, chopped pecans, or almonds to the topping for extra crunch. For a sweeter twist, drizzle bars with vanilla glaze before serving.
