They are surprisingly easy to make and are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, perfect for picnics, afternoon tea, or just a special treat with your morning coffee.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar ((222g))
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour ((378g))
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes (8oz or 226g))
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar ((110g))
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 large peaches, peeled and diced ((about 4 to 5 cups))
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar ((115g))
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk (more or less for desired consistency)
  • Instructions:

    Making the Crum extractble Base and Topping

  • To begin extract, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make lifting the bars out of the pan so much easier later. In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of granulated sugar, 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This dry mixture will form the foundation of both our crust and crum extractble topping.
  • Next, add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, your fingertips, or a food processor, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crum extractbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. This is crucial for a tender crust. If you’re using your hands, work quickly to prevent the butter from melting too much. The little pockets of butter will create flakiness as they melt in the oven.
  • Now, it’s time to bring the base together. Take about two-thirds of this crum extractb mixture and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. This will be our delicious shortbread-like crust. Reserve the remaining one-third of the crum extractb mixture for the topping.
  • Preparing the Luscious Peach Filling

    1. In a separate medium bowl, combine the 5 peeled and diced large peaches with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. The cornstarch will help thicken the peach juices as they cook, creating a lovely, jammy consistency. The lemon juice brightens the flavor of the peaches and prevents them from browning too much. Gently toss the peaches to ensure they are evenly coated.
    2. Now, it’s time to add a bit of flavor and warmth to the peaches. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the peach mixture and stir to combine. This subtle spice will enhance the natural sweetness of the fruit. Pour the peach mixture evenly over the pressed crust in the baking pan.
    3. Assembling and Baking the Bars

      1. Take the reserved one-third of the crum extractb mixture and scatter it evenly over the peach filling. This is your crum extractble topping! Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover the entire surface perfectly; rustic is charming.
      2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ½ cup of granulated sugar and the lightly beaten large egg. Pour this mixture over the crum extractbled topping. This might seem a bit unusual, but this step is key to creating that beautiful, slightly crisp, and chewy texture on the crum extractble topping. It helps bind the crum extractbs together and creates a lovely glaze as it bakes.
      3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. The aroma filling your kitchen will be absolutely divine! Once baked, carefully remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely on a wire rack. This is a critical step; trying to cut them while warm will result in a messy, gooey situation. Patience is key for clean slices.
      4. Finishing Touches and Serving

        1. While the bars are cooling, let’s make a simple yet delightful glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon of almond extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add the milk gradually, a little at a time, until you reach your desired drizzling consistency. You want it thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to pour smoothly. The almond extract adds a sophisticated, nutty undertone that pairs beautifully with peaches.
        2. Once the bars have cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set for about 15-20 minutes before cutting. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the entire slab of bars out of the pan onto a cutting board. Cut into squares or rectangles, as desired.
        3. These Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars are best enjoyed at room temperature, allowing all the flavors to meld together. They are a wonderful way to celebrate the bounty of peach season. Enjoy every delicious bite!

          Frequently Asked Questions:

          Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?

          Yes, you absolutely can! If using frozen peaches, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before proceeding with the recipe. You might need to adjust the cooking time slightly, as frozen fruit can release more moisture.

          How should I store these Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars?

          Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. They are delicious served at room temperature or gently warmed.

          What if I don’t have all the spices listed?

          Don’t worry! If you’re missing a spice, you can often omit it or substitute with a similar one. For example, if you don’t have cinnamon, a pinch of allspice or even just gin extractger can work, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.
