Georgia Peach Crumble Bars

A deliciously sweet and buttery dessert filled with fresh peaches and topped with a crunchy oat crumble, originating from the peach orchards of Georgia, USA.

🛒 Ingredients

• 2 cups peach
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 2 large eggs
• teaspoon vanilla extract
• teaspoon baking powder
• pinch salt
• 1/4 cup ice water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder.

2. 2

   Step 2: Add in cold unsalted butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Step 3: Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Step 4: Meanwhile, prepare the peach filling by peeling, coring, and slicing the peaches, and mix with brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.

5. 5

   Step 5: Arrange the peach mixture over the baked crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

6. 6

   Step 6: In a separate bowl, mix the oats, old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, and cold butter until crumbly. Add in eggs, vanilla extract, and ice water, and stir until a dough forms.

7. 7

   Step 7: Crumble the dough evenly over the peach filling, making sure to leave a small border around the edges to prevent the topping from spilling over.

8. 8

   Step 8: Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

9. 9

   Step 9: Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.

💡 Pro Tips

To ensure the crumble topping doesn't become too brown, cover the pan with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. To prevent the bars from becoming too crumbly, don't overbake.
