Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup (227g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 cups (700g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 large peaches)
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
- Reserve about 1 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping.
- Press the remaining crumbs firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon.
- Spread the peach filling evenly over the crust layer without mashing the peaches.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb topping evenly over the peach layer.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into bars.
Notes
Keep the butter cold to ensure a crumbly crust. Press the crust firmly to help bars hold their shape. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Cool completely before slicing to prevent filling from oozing.
