Ingredients:

Creating the Crum extractble Base and Topping

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the first cup of granulated sugar, 3 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This dry mixture will form the foundation of our bars.
2. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, your fingertips, or a food processor, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crum extractbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. This is crucial for creating a tender and crum extractbly texture. Cold butter is key here; it creates pockets of steam as it bakes, leading to flakiness. Don’t overwork the dough at this stage; we want those distinct buttery pieces.
3. In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the large egg. Add the beaten egg to the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just combined and the mixture starts to come together. It will still be crum extractbly, but should hold together when you squeeze it. Take about two-thirds of this mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. This will form our sturdy base. Reserve the remaining one-third of the crum extractble mixture for the topping.

Assembling the Luscious Peach Filling

4. Now, let’s prepare the star of the show – the fresh peach filling. In a medium bowl, gently toss the 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 will help to thicken the juices released by the peaches as they bake, preventing a soggy bottom. The lemon juice brightens the peach flavor and prevents them from browning. Be careful not to mash the peaches; we want distinct pieces for a delightful textural contrast.

Baking and Glazing to Perfection

5. Evenly spread the prepared peach filling over the pressed-down crum extractble base in the baking pan. Then, sprinkle the reserved one-third of the crum extractble mixture evenly over the top of the peaches. This creates our signature crum extractble topping.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges. The aroma that will fill your kitchen during this time is simply incredible! Keep an eye on the topping; if it starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil.
7. While the bars are baking, prepare the simple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon of almond extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and add more, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach a drizzly consistency. You want it thin enough to drizzle but thick enough to hold its shape. The almond extract adds a wonderful complementary flavor to the peaches without overpowering them.
8. Once the bars are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before glazing. This cooling period is important for the bars to set properly. Once slightly cooled, drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the warm crum extractble topping.
9. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. This allows the glaze to set and makes for cleaner cuts. These bars are delightful served at room temperature or slightly warmed. They are perfect for picnics, potlucks, or simply enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea. The combination of tender crust, juicy peaches, and sweet crum extractble is truly irresistible, a perfect ode to fresh summer peaches.
