Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 0.5 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix yogurt, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the sliced peaches.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, 0.25 cup flour, and cold butter. Use fingers to rub butter into dry ingredients until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm peaches. You can substitute frozen peaches—thaw and drain well before using. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
