Ingredients:
For the Crust and Crumble:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
For the Peach Filling:
- 5 cups diced fresh or canned peaches (drained)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Crust and Crumble:
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the baking powder, salt, and flour. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Reserve the remaining dough for the crumble topping.
- Prepare the Peach Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust in the baking pan.
- Add the Crumble Topping:
- Crumble the reserved dough evenly over the peach filling.
- Bake the Bars:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
- Finish the Bars:
- Once the bars are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
- Cut into squares and serve.
