Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides a sturdy base; swap for gluten-free blend if needed.
  • 0.5 cups Granulated Sugar Sweetens the crust; use brown sugar for added depth.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Elevates flavors; essential for achieving balance.
  • 1 cup Cold Unsalted Butter Ensures a tender crust; keep it cold for the best texture.
For the Topping
  • 0.5 cup Brown Sugar Adds sweetness and a rich flavor to the topping.
  • 1.5 cups Reserved Crust Mixture The crumbles create that delightful crunchy topping.
For the Filling
  • 4 cups Peaches The star of the show, bringing juicy flavor; fresh is best, but canned works if drained.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds a luscious texture; opt for non-dairy cream for a lighter version.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the filling’s aroma; replace with almond for a twist.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add cubed cold unsalted butter and pulse until crumbly. Reserve 1½ cups for topping, then press remaining into the pan.
  3. While the crust bakes, stir brown sugar into the reserved crumb mixture until clumps form, creating a streusel topping.
  4. In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in peaches, then whisk together heavy cream and vanilla, folding into peach mixture.
  5. Pour the peach filling over the baked crust, spread it evenly, then sprinkle the streusel topping over the peach layer. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
  6. Let the bars cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting.
