Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust and Topping
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
Peach Filling
  • 4 cups fresh peaches peeled and sliced
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a food processor, combine flour, 0.5 cup sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press 2.5 cups of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. While crust bakes, prepare filling: In a bowl, toss peaches with 0.5 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove crust from oven. Pour peach filling evenly over the warm crust.
  6. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over the peaches. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until topping is golden and filling is bubbly.
  7. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack before slicing into bars. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain well before using. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
