Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 cups fresh peaches
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Peel and slice the peaches, then toss them with lemon juice, cornstarch, and a small amount of sugar. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan to create the base layer.
6. In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until crumbly to form the streusel.
7. Spread the peach mixture evenly over the base.
8. Sprinkle the cinnamon streusel evenly on top.
9. Bake for 35–45 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
10. Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
Let the bars cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
Chill the butter slightly before making streusel for a perfect crumb topping.
