Peach Crumb Bars
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 2 cups fresh peach slices, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a square baking pan with measurements of 8 inches by 8 inches and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
Make the crumble topping by mixing together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until well combined.
4
Using two forks or a pastry cutter, work the cold butter into the dry ingredients until you achieve a texture that resembles coarse crumbs.
5
Slowly incorporate egg yolk and cold water into the mixture, taking care not to overmix.
6
Press half of the crumble mixture into the prepared baking pan to create the crust, reserving the other half for topping.
7
Make the filling by combining peach slices, sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until everything is well incorporated.
8
Spread the filling evenly over the crust, followed by a sprinkle of the reserved crumble mixture on top.
9
Bake the bars in your preheated oven for 30 to 38 minutes, or until they are golden brown and set.
10
Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool to room temperature before cutting into 12 equal-sized pieces and serving.
