Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Crum extractble Base and Topping

Begin extract by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your bars bake evenly from the moment they go in. Next, prepare your baking pan. I like to use a 9×13 inch baking pan. For easy removal and cleanup, I highly recommend lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will allow you to lift the entire slab of bars out of the pan once baked, making cutting a breeze. In a large bowl, combine 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. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined. This ensures that the leavening agent and salt are evenly distributed throughout the crum extractble mixture, leading to a consistent texture. Now, add 1 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingertips, 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 are key to creating a tender and flaky crum extractble. Don’t overmix; you want that crum extractbly texture.

Step 2: Form the Bar Base

Take about two-thirds of the crum extractble mixture you just prepared and press it evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Use the bottom of a glass or your hands to firmly press it down to form a solid, even base. This base will be the foundation of your delicious bars. Bake this base for 10-12 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden brown around the edges. This pre-baking step helps to prevent the bottom layer from becoming soggy once the peach filling is added. While the base is baking, let’s move on to the peach filling.

Step 3: Create the Luscious Peach Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and diced peaches with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. The cornstarch will act as a thickener, ensuring your filling isn’t too runny. The lemon juice brightens the flavor of the peaches and helps prevent them from browning too much. Gently toss everything together until the peaches are evenly coated with the cornstarch and spices. Set this aside. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ½ cup of granulated sugar and the lightly beaten large egg. This will form the binder for your topping.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake the Bars

Once the pre-baked base is out of the oven, evenly spread the prepared peach filling over the warm base. Then, sprinkle the remaining one-third of the crum extractble mixture evenly over the peaches. Finally, drizzle the sugar and egg mixture over the crum extractble topping. This extra step adds a lovely, slightly crisp texture to the very top layer of the crum extractble. Carefully place the pan back into the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and appears cooked through. The baking time can vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it. You want those peaches to be tender and the topping to be wonderfully crisp.

Step 5: Prepare the Almond Glaze and Finish

While the bars are baking, prepare the simple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon of almond extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add the milk a little at a time, stirring until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. You may need a touch more or less milk depending on the humidity and the powderiness of your sugar. Once the bars are out of the oven, let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to an hour before drizzling the glaze over the top. This allows the filling to set up a bit, making it easier to cut. Once the glaze is drizzled over the warm bars, let them cool completely before cutting. This is crucial for clean cuts. Once completely cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut them into squares or bars of your desired size. These are best enjoyed at room temperature, and any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, or in the refrigerator for longer storage. Enjoy your homemade Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars!

Perhaps a few chopped pecans or almonds in the crum extractble would add a delightful crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Absolutely! If using frozen peaches, make sure to thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before incorporating them into the recipe. This will prevent your bars from becoming too soggy.

How should I store my Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars?

Once cooled, you can store these bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze beautifully; wrap individual bars tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
