Description
Easy, buttery peach crumble bars made with one simple dough for both the crust and topping. Filled with juicy peaches and finished with a golden oat crumble.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour (140g)
1⅓ cup rolled oats (130g)
¾ cup granulated sugar (155g)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt (optional)
⅔ cup unsalted butter, melted (150g)
2 cups peeled, chopped peaches (450g)
2 tbsp sugar (30g)
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp almond extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Peel (optional) and chop peaches into ½ to 1-inch pieces.
3. Toss chopped peaches with lemon juice and almond extract, then stir in sugar and cornstarch. Let rest.
4. In a large bowl, mix flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Add melted butter and stir until a crumbly dough forms.
6. Press two-thirds of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to create the crust.
7. Spoon peach mixture over crust, leaving excess juice behind.
8. Crumble the remaining dough over the top and press down lightly.
9. Bake for 33–35 minutes or until golden and the fruit is bubbly at the edges.
10. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then chill in fridge for at least 90 minutes before slicing.
11. Optional: Cook down reserved peach juice into syrup and drizzle over cooled bars.
Notes
Bars will slice best after chilling fully.
Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months between layers of parchment.
