Ingredients:

Preparing the Crum extractble Base and Topping

The secret to these bars lies in the wonderfully versatile crum extractble mixture. It forms both the base and the topping, creating a harmonious texture throughout.

1. 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 forms the foundation of our crum extractble. Ensure everything is well combined to distribute the leavening agent and spices evenly.
2. 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 still visible. These little pockets of butter will melt during baking, creating that irresistible tender and flaky texture in our crum extractble. It’s important to use cold butter here; warm butter will result in a greasier, less crum extractbly texture.
3. Reserve about 1 ½ cups of this crum extractble mixture for the topping. To the remaining crum extractble mixture in the bowl, add the lightly beaten large egg. Mix until the ingredients just come together to form a dough. It will be a bit crum extractbly but should hold together when squeezed. This will be our base.

Assembling and Baking the Bars

Now that we have our base and topping components ready, it’s time to bring it all together and let the oven work its magic.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the bars out later. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the base layer. Make sure it’s spread out uniformly for even baking.
2. In a separate medium bowl, gently toss the peeled and diced peaches with the ½ cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. The cornstarch is crucial here; it will help thicken the peach juices as they bake, preventing a soggy bottom and creating a luscious, jammy filling. The lemon juice brightens the flavor of the peaches and balances their sweetness.
3. Spread the prepared peach mixture evenly over the crum extractble base in the baking pan. Try to distribute the peaches and any juices evenly.
4. Crum extractble the reserved 1 ½ cups of crum extractble mixture evenly over the top of the peach layer. This topping will turn golden brown and wonderfully crisp as it bakes, providing a delightful textural contrast to the soft peaches.

Creating the Almond Glaze

A simple yet elegant glaze is the perfect finishing touch to these already delicious bars.

1. Once the bars are baked and have cooled slightly in the pan (about 15-20 minutes), you can lift them out using the parchment paper overhang. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely before glazing. This ensures the glaze sets properly and doesn’t melt off.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon of almond extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and add more, a tiny bit at a time, if needed, until you reach your desired drizzling consistency. You want a glaze that is thick enough to coat but thin enough to drizzle.
3. Drizzle the almond glaze generously over the cooled peach crum extractble bars. Allow the glaze to set for at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars. This is the longest wait, but it’s well worth it for perfectly formed, beautifully glazed bars.

These Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars are best enjoyed within a few days, stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They also freeze beautifully, making them a perfect make-ahead treat. Enjoy every bite of this delightful summer dessert!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use frozen peaches?

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

How should I store these bars?

Once cooled, these Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. They are also delicious reheated gently in the oven or microwave.

What if I don’t have fresh peaches?

While fresh peaches are ideal for their vibrant flavor and texture, you can substitute with canned or jarred peaches. Ensure they are packed in juice, not syrup, and drain them very well before using. You may also want to reduce the added sugar in the filling slightly.
