Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Base of the crust and crumb topping.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness to the dessert.
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder Helps the bars rise slightly.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt Enhances the flavors.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Cold and cubed, provides richness.
  • 2 large eggs Binds the ingredients together.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Introduces a warm flavor.
  • 3 cups fresh peaches Peeled and diced, the star ingredient.
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch Thickens the peach filling.
  • ¼ cup brown sugar Adds depth of flavor.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract to the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Press two-thirds of this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss diced peaches with cornstarch and brown sugar until well coated.

  6. Bake for about 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
