summer peach crumble bar ingredients

Ingredients

Base:

10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

¼ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

Filling:

1 1/2 lbs peaches*

Zest 1 lemon

3 tbsp granulated sugar

Crumble:

6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

½ cup brown sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ tsp salt

Directions

Grease and line a 9 x 13” baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350° F.

Make base:

In a large bowl, blend butter, sugar, and egg together with a stand mixer or handheld beaters on medium high until creamy and light.

Add cinnamon, salt, and flour, blending on low until just combined.

Press mixture into pan. To make this easier, put several large dollops of mixture in different portions of the pan and push then together with your fingertips. Pat into an even layer.

Chill in fridge while preparing remaining layers.

Make filling:

Slice peaches into ¼” or thinner slices.

Toss with lemon zest and sugar.

Make crumble topping:

On low speed, blend all ingredients until just combined into small crumbles but still a bit powdery**.

Toss further with your fingers until slightly larger crumbs form (no larger than a pea).

On the chilled base, spread an even layer of peaches.

Sprinkle the crumble on top of the peaches as evenly as possible, but do not press down.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden on top and peaches are slightly bubbling at edges.

Cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before removing and allow to cool completely before eating.

Will store in a sealed container in the fridge for a couple days, but will not be as crisp.

For an even cooler treat, top with some vanilla or vanilla bean ice cream! YUM! These summer peach crumble bars will be a hit with everyone!

Notes

*Any variety of peaches work. This sample used a mixture of regular yellow, white, and white donut peaches. Just note that donut peaches are sweeter than standard yellow or white peaches, so adjust sugar accordingly.

**Reduce the number of dishes you have to wash: do this in the same bowl you used for the base.

ENJOY!
