Ingredients

Scale
    • For the Crust:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

 

    • For the Peach Filling:
    • 3–4 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

  • For the Crumb Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. Make the Crust: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into pan and bake for 15–18 minutes until lightly golden. Cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, toss peach slices with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla. Let sit while you make the topping.
  4. Make Crumb Topping: In another bowl, mix flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbs form.
  5. Assemble: Spread peach filling over crust. Top evenly with crumb mixture.
  6. Bake: Bake 45–50 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool completely before slicing.
  7. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy plain or with ice cream. Store leftovers in fridge or freeze for later.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Canned or frozen peaches also work—just drain well. Add berries, nuts, or warm spices for variation. These bars are delicious warm or chilled.
