Ingredients
Scale
Crust & Crumble
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 170 g (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 1 large egg

- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the butter, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared pan to form the crust.

- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling.

Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.
Let the bars cool completely for clean slices.
If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them well first.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
These bars freeze well for up to 3 months.
