Ingredients:

Preparing the Base and Crum extractble

1. Preheat your oven and prepare your baking dish: Begin extract by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your bars bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown hue. Next, line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it incredibly easy to lift the finished bars out of the pan for clean cutting. Don’t skip this step, it’s a real game-changer for easy removal.

2. Create the crum extractble mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the first set of dry ingredients: 1 cup of granulated sugar, 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Whisk them together until they are thoroughly combined. This creates the foundation for both your buttery crust and your delightful crum extractble topping.

3. Cut in the cold butter: Now, add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, a fork, or even your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crum extractbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible. It’s important that the butter is cold for this step; it’s what creates those wonderfully tender and flaky layers in the crust and crum extractble. Don’t overmix it to the point where it’s a smooth paste; those little pockets of butter are key to a great texture.

4. Form the crust: Once you have your crum extractbly mixture, take about two-thirds of it and press it evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or your hands to create a compact, even layer. This will be your delicious, buttery crust. Reserve the remaining one-third of the crum extractble mixture for the topping.

Making the Luscious Peach Filling

5. Prepare the peach filling: In a separate bowl, gently toss your peeled and diced peaches with ½ cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. The cornstarch is essential for thickening the juices released from the peaches as they bake, preventing a watery filling. The lemon juice not only adds a touch of brightness but also helps to enhance the natural sweetness of the peaches and prevent them from browning too much. Ensure all the peach pieces are evenly coated with the sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch mixture.

Assembling and Baking the Bars

6. Assemble the bars: Carefully spoon the prepared peach filling evenly over the pressed crust in the baking pan. Spread it out so you have a nice, consistent layer of juicy peaches. Now, take the reserved one-third of the crum extractble mixture and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the peach layer. You want to distribute it as evenly as possible to create a beautiful, golden-brown topping.

7. Bake to golden perfection: Place the assembled bars in your preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. The exact baking time can vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them after the 30-minute mark. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges are golden and you can see the delicious peach filling bubbling up through the crum extractble.

Creating the Finishing Glaze

8. Cool and glaze: Once baked, remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This is a crucial step; if you try to cut them while they are warm, they will likely fall apart. Patience is a virtue when it comes to perfect bars! While the bars are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and add a tiny bit more, a teaspoon at a time, until you achieve a smooth, drizzle-able consistency. The almond extract adds a lovely, subtle nutty note that pairs beautifully with the peaches.

9. Drizzle and serve: Once the bars have cooled completely, use a spoon or a piping bag to drizzle the glaze decoratively over the top of the cooled crum extractble. Allow the glaze to set for about 15-20 minutes before cutting the bars. Then, using a sharp knife, cut them into your desired serving size. Enjoy these delightful Fresh Peach Crum extractble Bars – they are a true taste of summer!
