Instructions:

First, let’s prepare our base and crum extractble topping. In a large bowl, whisk together 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. This dry mixture forms the foundation of our delicious crum extractble. Now, add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to this mixture. Using a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crum extractbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible. This is key to achieving that delightful crum extractbly texture. Next, stir in the lightly beaten egg. The mixture will start to come together into a shaggy dough. It won’t be smooth like a cookie dough, and that’s perfectly okay. Press about two-thirds of this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan that has been lightly greased or lined with parchment paper for easy removal. We’ll use the remaining one-third for the crum extractble topping later.

Now, let’s get our luscious peach filling ready. In a separate medium bowl, combine the diced fresh peaches with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. The cornstarch is essential here; it helps thicken the peach juices as they bake, preventing a soggy bottom and ensuring a lovely, jammy consistency. Add the fresh lemon juice. The lemon juice not only brightens the flavor of the peaches but also helps to preserve their beautiful color. Gently toss everything together to ensure the peaches are evenly coated. Set this aside while we prepare the final touches for the topping.

It’s time to assemble these beautiful bars! Spread the prepared peach mixture evenly over the pressed-down base in the baking pan. Make sure to distribute the peaches and any accumulated juices as evenly as possible. Once the peaches are in place, sprinkle the reserved one-third of the crum extractb mixture evenly over the top of the peaches. Gently press down on the crum extractble topping so it adheres slightly to the peaches. This helps prevent it from falling off completely during baking and ensures a more cohesive crum extractble bar.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bars for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. The exact baking time will depend on your oven, so keep an eye on them. You want to see that beautiful golden hue on the crum extractble and hear the gentle sizzle of the juicy peaches. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This cooling process is crucial! It allows the filling to set properly and the bars to firm up, making them much easier to cut. Trying to cut them while warm can result in a crum extractbly mess, and we want neat, delectable slices.

While the bars are cooling, we can whip up a simple yet elegant glaze to finish them off. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and ¼ teaspoon of almond extract. The almond extract adds a delicate, sophisticated flavor that pairs wonderfully with peaches. Gradually add the milk, starting with about 1 tablespoon, and whisking until you achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency. You might need a little more or less milk depending on the humidity and your desired glaze thickness. Once the bars are completely cool, drizzle this glaze generously over the top. You can use a spoon to create decorative patterns or simply drizzle it haphazardly for a rustic charm. Once the glaze has set slightly, cut the bars into your desired serving sizes. Enjoy these delightful fresh peach crum extractble bars with your favorite beverage!
