Fresh peach filling and a sweet buttery shortbread crust and crumble, these Peach Crumble Bars are amazingly delicious!
Ingredients:
For the Crust/Crumble:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cold
- 1 egg
For the Peach Filling:
- 5 cups peeled and diced peaches, (approximately 7 peaches)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Butter or spray cooking spray on the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Put a long piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan, letting the parchment extend up the sides of the pan. (This will make it easy to remove the bars from the pan after they have baked and cooled.) Butter or spray the parchment.
- To prepare the crumble: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon on low speed. Using a knife, cut the COLD butter into small cubes. Add the small butter cubes to the flour mixture and mix on low speed. Add egg and mix until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal, with the butter pieces no larger than small peas.
- Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan. Set the other half of the dough aside, as that will be the crumble topping.
- To prepare the peach filling: In a large bowl, gently toss diced peaches and lemon juice together. Next, add in the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon and gently mix to combine.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the peach layer.
- Bake in preheated 375° oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before slicing into bars.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
