Delight in these easy homemade Peach Pie Bars, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well.
- Add the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a crumbly dough forms. Reserve 1 cup of the dough for topping.
- Press the remaining dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In another bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly over the baked crust. Crumble the reserved dough over the top of the peaches.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of almond extract with the peach filling.
- You can substitute fresh peaches with other fruits like blueberries or cherries for a different twist.
