Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, rolled oats, 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with 0.5 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon until well combined.1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- Spread the peach filling evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the peach filling.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges brown too quickly, you can loosely tent the pan with foil.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows the filling to set.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the crumb topping. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
