About This Recipe

The first time I made a fruit crumble bar, I didn’t know that this simple dessert could easily win over all family members. You could use almost any kind of summer fruits to make these chewy, soft and buttery bars. I have a couple crumble bar recipes on the site already which are as delicious as Peach Crumble Bars. Apricot crumble bars, strawberry crumble bars and sour cherry crumble bars!

What You Need To Make Peach Crumble Bars

• Peaches: It’s best to use ripe and sweet peaches when they’re in season for this recipe.
• Brown sugar: Brown sugar adds a caramel taste to the crumble bar crust.
• Granulated sugar: I used granulated sugar to sweeten the filling. You can adjust the sweetness of the filling according to your taste. If you use sweet peaches, you don’t need to add a lot of sugar.
• Flour: Plain all-purpose flour works best for these crumble bars.
• Baking powder: The baking powder helps the crust and topping to puff and brown.
• Butter: The butter makes the crust and topping flaky and crisp.
• Egg: The egg softens the dough and enriches the flavor.
• Salt: Add salt to balance the sweetness.
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract adds flavor and taste to the filling.

How to Make Peach Crumble Bars

• Peel peaches and cut them into small pieces.
• Combine peaches, granulated sugar, and a bit of lemon juice in a saucepan.
• Cook over medium-low heat. Stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens for about 15 minutes.
