Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (315 g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar (110 g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes (225 g)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 ½ cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add cold cubed butter.
  3. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining (about 3–5 minutes).
  4. Press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust layer.
  5. In another bowl, toss sliced peaches with ½ cup sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well coated.
  6. Spread the peach mixture evenly over the pressed crust.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the peaches, breaking up any large clumps.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling at the edges. Check around 40 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting.
  10. Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If the crumble topping browns too quickly, tent the pan loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let bars cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil; for gluten-free, replace half the flour with almond flour or use a gluten-free blend. Frozen peaches can be used if drained well.
