Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted cold butter cut into tiny cubes
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
Peach layer:
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 6 large peaches peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
Almond icing (optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon milk more if needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F if using a glass pan, or 375 degrees F, if using a metal pan.
- Spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with baking spray and set aside.
Crust:
- In a medium bowl whisk together sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the diced butter and using a pastry cutter, or a fork, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand. If the mixture is too "wet", add a bit more flour.
- Add the lightly beaten egg and mix well, until the dough starts to hold together, it still should be crumbly. I prefer to mix it in a stand mixer.
- Gently press a little more than half the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside the remaining dough, it will be used for the crumb topping.
Peach layer:
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the white and bron sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
- Add the diced fruit and toss to combine.
- Add the lemon juice and toss to coat. Pour the mixture on top of the crust and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the slivered almonds on top.
- Using your fingers, press together small handfuls of the remaining dough to create a few clumps. Scatter them and remaining crumbled topping on top of the fruit layer.
Bake:
- If using a glass pan, bake at 350 degrees F for 50-55 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.
- If using a metal pan, bake at 375 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.
- Removee from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack, then chill before icing and slicing.
Almond icing:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients, until smooth and without lumps. Drizzle on top of the chilled bars.
- Slice and serve.
