Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Base:
- 2 cups peaches, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Crust and Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (113 grams)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage for easy removal.
- Combine flour, rolled oats, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl, creating a texture that resembles coarse, sandy crumbs.
- Firmly press half of the crumbly mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even, compact base layer.
- In a separate bowl, gently coat sliced peaches with cinnamon, cornstarch, and brown sugar, ensuring each slice is evenly seasoned.
- Carefully spread the spiced peach mixture across the prepared crust, distributing the fruit in a uniform layer.
- Scatter the remaining crumble mixture over the peaches, covering the fruit completely with a textured topping.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface that indicates caramelization and doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares for serving.
Notes
- Keep peaches firm when slicing to maintain texture and prevent mushy bars.
- Swap fresh peaches with frozen or canned varieties during off-season for consistent results.
- Mix rolled oats and flour thoroughly to create a perfectly crumbly, balanced base that holds together well.
- Dust a light layer of powdered sugar on top after cooling for an elegant, sweet finishing touch.
