Cup of Yum
For the crust:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Mix in the egg and vanilla. *Note: If you're using a food processor you can just add everything to the food processor and pulse until crumbly. Then add in the egg and vanilla and process until combined.
- Reserve 2 cups of the crust mixture and press the remaining mixture into the prepared pan.
For the peaches:
- Toss peaches with lemon juice and almond extract. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Toss to coat.
- Pour peaches over the bottom crust. Sprinkle reserved dough on top of peaches.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until topping is lightly browned. Cool completely and cut into bars.
Notes
- CAN I MAKE THESE AHEAD?
- I wouldn't suggest making these too far ahead of time because the filling will soften the crust. The day of or the day before is fine.
