Ingredients:

1 cup granulated sugar ((222g))

3 cups all-purpose flour ((378g))

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes (8oz or 226g))

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

½ cup granulated sugar ((110g))

1 tablespoon cornstarch

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

5 large peaches, peeled and diced ((about 4 to 5 cups))

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup powdered sugar ((115g))

¼ teaspoon almond extract

1 tablespoon milk (more or less for desired consistency)

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crum extractble Mixture:

To begin extract making these delightful bars, we first need to create the base and the crum extractble topping. In a large bowl, whisk together the first measure of granulated sugar (1 cup), all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This dry mixture forms the foundation of our crum extractble. Next, add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. You want your butter to be truly cold; this is key to achieving that wonderful crum extractbly texture. Using a pastry blender, a fork, or even your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crum extractbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible. Don’t overwork it; those little pockets of butter will melt during baking, creating pockets of delicious richness.

2. Form the Bar Base:

Once you have your crum extractble mixture, take about two-thirds of it and press it evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan. Make sure to press it down firmly and create a compact layer. This will form the base of our peach crum extractble bars. For best results, you can line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This makes lifting the bars out of the pan much easier once they’re cooled.

3. Create the Luscious Peach Filling:

Now it’s time to prepare the star of the show: the fresh peach filling. In a separate medium bowl, gently toss the peeled and diced peaches with the ½ cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, the remaining ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and the fresh lemon juice. The cornstarch will help to thicken the peach juices as they bake, preventing a watery filling. The lemon juice adds a lovely brightness that cuts through the sweetness of the peaches. Make sure the peaches are evenly coated with the sugar and spice mixture.

4. Assemble and Bake the Bars:

Carefully spread the prepared peach filling evenly over the pressed crum extractble base in the baking pan. Try to distribute the peaches in a single layer as much as possible. Then, take the remaining one-third of the crum extractble mixture and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the peach filling. This will create the signature crum extractble topping. Place the baking pan in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges. The aroma that will fill your kitchen at this stage is truly divine!

5. Make the Almond Glaze and Finish:

While the bars are baking, you can prepare the simple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and the almond extract. Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until you achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency. You might need a little more or less milk depending on the humidity and the fineness of your powdered sugar. Once the bars are out of the oven and have cooled in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes, carefully drizzle the almond glaze over the warm crum extractble topping. Allowing them to cool slightly before glazing helps the glaze to set nicely without being too runny. Once the glaze has set, you can cut the bars into your desired portions. For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts. Enjoy these amazing Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars! They are best served slightly warm or at room temperature. They also keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, though they rarely last that long!
