Peach Crumble Bars
These peach crumble bars are loaded with juicy, fresh peaches sandwiched in between a buttery crust and a delicious crumb topping.
Ingredients
For the crust
- 2½ cups (300 g) all-purpose flour sifted
- ½ cup + 1½ tablespoon (120 g) granulated sugar
- 3 oz. (85 g) butter cold and cut into cubes
- 1 egg
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- a pinch of salt
For the filling
- 2½ cups (550 g) peaches peeled and cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C). Line a 9x9 inches (22x22 cm) baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving the foil to extend up the sides. This will make it easier to remove the bars from the pan. Butter it to prevent sticking and set aside.
Prepare the crust
- Put all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is the texture of coarse sand.
- Put it in the fridge while you prepare the filling..
Make the filling
- In medium bowl, gently toss the diced peaches and lemon juice together. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, and sugar, pour it over the peaches and carefully combine.
- Pat half of dough into the prepared pan.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust and crumble the remaining dough over the peaches.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature then place them in the fridge to chill thoroughly.
- Cut the peach crumble bars into squares and serve.
