Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
For the Peach Filling
- 3-4 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crumb Topping

- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some paper hanging over the sides.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Press this mixture into your lined pan and bake for 15–18 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool.
- In another bowl, toss the peach slices with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let this sit.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the crumb topping. Stir in the melted butter until crumbs form.
Assembly and Baking
- Spread the peach filling evenly over the crust and then sprinkle the crumb mixture on top.
- Bake the bars for 45–50 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let them cool completely before slicing.
- Once cool, cut into squares and serve.
