Ingredients
For the Peach Raspberry Filling:
- 3 cups peach diced, peeled
- 2 cups raspberry fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2-3 teaspoons cornstarch depending how juicy your fruit is, see note below
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
FOR THE DOUGH:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup butter cut into small pieces, cold unsalted
- 1 egg lightly beaten, large
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- turbinado sugar for sprinkling on bars, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- For peach raspberry filling, place the diced peaches and raspberries in a large bowl and add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and honey. Gently stir.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour over the fruit mixture and gently stir. Set aside.
- For the dough, in a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two forks until butter is mixed in, but you still have small pea size chunks of butter.
- Mix the vanilla and egg together. Add into the flour and butter mixture and combine. The dough will be crumbly. Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan.
- Spread the peach raspberry mixture evenly over the bottom crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the fruit layer. Sprinkle turbinado sugar, if using.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and fruit it starting to bubble a little on the sides. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve. We like the bars with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- If you are using frozen raspberries, use 3 teaspoons cornstarch because the raspberries will be more juicy as they defrost with the peaches.
