What You Need for Peach Crumble Bars
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- ¾ cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt

How to Make Peach Crumble Bars
Step 1: Prepare Your Crust
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix the flour, both sugars, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Press about two-thirds of this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
Step 2: Add Peach Filling
Arrange your sliced peaches evenly over the crust layer. You can lightly toss the peaches with a tablespoon of sugar if they are not very sweet.
Step 3: Top and Bake
Crumble the remaining dough mixture over the peaches. Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are soft.
📝 Final Note
Let your peach crumble bars cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. This helps them set up nicely for clean slices.
