Ingredients
Base:
- 10 tablespoons (142g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ⅔ cups (200g) all-purpose flour
Filling:
- 1 ½ pounds (600g) peaches de-stoned and thinly sliced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Topping:
- 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
- ½ cup (105g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Make The Crust Base:
- Grease a 9x13-inch (22x32cm) baking dish and line with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C.
- Beat together the butter, sugar, and egg together in a stand mixer (or use handheld beaters and a mixing bowl) on medium high until fluffy and creamy.
- Mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour on low speed until just combined.
- Press the crumb mixture into an even layer in the baking dish. To make this task easier, place scoops of the mixture all over the bottom of the baking dish, then simply push them together with your fingertips.
- Chill the crumb base in the refrigerator while making the remaining layers.
For The Peach Filling:
- De-stone and cut fresh peaches into ¼-inch (6mm) or thinner slices and add to a mixing bowl.
- Mix in the vanilla, nutmeg, lemon zest and sugar and set aside.
Make The Crumb Topping:
- Add all the crumb topping ingredients into a food processor and whiz on low speed until it comes together as small crumbles (make sure they are not too fine).
- Then toss with your fingers until slightly larger crumbs form (no large than a pea).
Assemble The Bars:
- Remove baking dish from the fridge.
- Spread an even layer of the prepared peaches mixture on top of the chilled crust.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches, without pressing down.
Bake The Bars:
- Bake for the peach bars for bout 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and the peaches are slightly bubbling at edges.
- Allow the bars to cool to room temperature inside the baking dish before removing.

Notes
- Start with fresh peaches that are firm but ripe. This makes a big difference. Steer clear of any that look bruised or damaged. Fun fact: more giant peaches often taste sweeter!
- Want to mix it up? Try white donut peaches! Just a heads up, they’re a tad sweeter than your standard peaches.
- Once you’ve baked your bars, let them cool to room temperature or chill them in the fridge for at least an hour before you slice. This wait time makes sure they cut cleanly—no crumbly mess!
- Not peach season? Canned peaches are totally fine. Just drain them well to avoid soggy bars. A quick blot with a paper towel gets rid of any extra juice.
- For that perfect crumbly topping, make sure your butter is cold when mixing it into your dry ingredients. It’s all about those little pockets of butter that melt and crisp up just right in the oven.
- Storage - Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, these bars will last up to 5 days. Do note that they will not be as crisp.
- There are 10 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving.
