Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars

There’s something truly magical about the transition of summer into fall, and for me, that magic is often embodied in the last of the season’s glorious peaches. While I love a classic peach pie, these Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars offer a delightful twist. They’re incredibly easy to make, bursting with fresh peach flavor, and have that irresistible combination of tender crum extractb and a sweet, slightly crisp topping. The almond extract in the glaze is a secret weapon, adding a subtle, sophisticated note that elevates the sweet peaches to a whole new level. These bars are perfect for a weekend treat, a potluck, or just because you deserve a little sunshine in dessert form.

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)

    • Instructions:

  • Prepare the Crum extractble Base and Topping: In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup granulated sugar, 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon. This dry mixture will form both the base and the crum extractble topping for our bars. Next, add the cold, cubed unsalted butter. You can use a pastry blender, your fingertips, or a food processor to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crum extractbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. These bits of butter are crucial for creating a tender and flaky texture in both the base and the topping. Once you’ve achieved this crum extractbly texture, take about two-thirds of this mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan that has been greased and floured, or lined with parchment paper for easy removal. This will be your bar’s sturdy foundation. Set the remaining one-third of the crum extractb mixture aside for the topping.
  • Create the Luscious Peach Filling: In a separate medium bowl, gently toss the peeled and diced peaches with ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. The cornstarch will act as a thickener, preventing a watery filling, while the lemon juice brightens the peach flavor and prevents browning. Make sure each peach piece is coated evenly. This step is where the magic of fresh peaches truly shines. Taste a piece of peach; if they are particularly tart, you might consider adding a touch more sugar, but remember the glaze will also add sweetness.
  • Assemble and Bake the Bars: Evenly spread the peach filling over the prepared base in the baking pan. Don’t worry if it looks a little mounded; the peaches will cook down. Now, take the reserved one-third of the crum extractble mixture and sprinkle it evenly over the peach filling. This will form the delicious crum extractble topping that gets golden brown and wonderfully crunchy as it bakes. You can gently press it down if you like, but I prefer a more loosely scattered topping for better crispness. Place the pan in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake Until Golden and Bubbly: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges. Keep an eye on the bars towards the end of the baking time; ovens can vary. If the topping starts to brown too quickly before the filling is fully cooked, you can loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil. The aroma that will fill your kitchen during this stage is absolutely divine – a testament to the fresh peaches and warm spices. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling period is essential. If you try to cut them too soon, the filling will be too soft and everything will fall apart. Patience is key here!
  • Whip Up the Almond Glaze and Finish: While the bars are cooling, prepare the simple yet impactful glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 cup powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon almond extract, and 1 tablespoon milk. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and add more, a tiny bit at a time, if needed, until you achieve a pourable, drizzly consistency. You’re looking for a glaze that’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still fluid enough to drizzle. Once the bars are completely cool, generously drizzle the almond glaze over the top. The almond extract adds a wonderful depth of flavor that complements the sweetness of the peaches beautifully. Let the glaze set for about 15-20 minutes before cutting the bars into your desired size. You can cut them into squares for individual servings or rectangles for a more rustic presentation. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Can I make these bars ahead of time?

    Yes, absolutely! These Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars are fantastic when made a day in advance. In fact, letting them sit overnight allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or in the refrigerator for up to four days.

    What if I don’t have fresh peaches?

    While fresh peaches yield the best flavor, you can certainly use frozen peaches. Thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using them in the recipe. Canned peaches can also work in a pinch, but be sure to drain them very well and adjust the sugar in the filling, as they are often pre-sweetened.

    How do I get clean cuts for my bars?

    For the cleanest cuts, allow the bars to cool completely before slicing. Using a sharp knife and wiping it clean between each cut will also help achieve neat edges. Chilling the bars in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before cutting can further firm them up for easier slicing.
