Ingredients

For the Shortbread

  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 11 tablespoon butter, melted (1 stick + 3 tbsp)

For the Peaches

  • 3 cups peaches chopped
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

For the Crumb

  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup old-fashioned oats
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 5 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.

Shortbread

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar and salt. Pour in the melted butter and whisk until it is combined.
  • Press the shortbread into the prepared baking dish, going slightly up the sides of the dish.
  • Bake for 15 minutes then remove from the oven and let cool.

Peaches

  • While the shortbread is cooling, peel and chop your peaches. Add them to a medium bowl.
  • Add the sugar, lemon juice and vanilla and toss to coat. Then sprinkle the cornstarch on top and toss to coat.
  • Spread mixture over the slightly cooled shortbread.

Crumb

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Pour the melted butter on top and stir until fully combined.
  • Spread the mixture on top of the peaches.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes. Then let cool on the counter to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. This will make the bars easier to slice.

Glaze

  • Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until a thick glaze forms.
  • Drizzle the glaze on top of the peach crumb bars and cut into 16 squares.
