Ingredients
- Fresh Peaches
- All-Purpose Flour
- Unsalted Butter
- Granulated Sugar
- Light Brown Sugar
- Rolled Oats
- Ground Cinnamon
- Ground Nutmeg
- Lemon Juice
- Non-Alcohol Vanilla Alternative
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well combined.
- Add the very cold, cubed unsalted butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan to create a compact crust.
- Pre-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden at the edges, then set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine sliced fresh peaches with granulated sugar, a tablespoon of all-purpose flour, fresh lemon juice, non-alcohol vanilla alternative, and a pinch of ground nutmeg. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Spread the peach filling evenly over the pre-baked crumble crust in the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining one-third of the crumble mixture evenly over the peach filling without pressing it down.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing into bars.

Keywords: For the best crumble texture, use very cold butter. To prevent a soggy bottom, consider pre-baking the crust and ensuring your peaches are not overly wet. Allowing the bars to cool completely is crucial for clean slices.
