Ingredients
  

Peach Crumble Bar Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter cold, cubed (226g)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar 100g
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour 250g
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 5ml
  • 4-5 large Fresh Peaches peeled and sliced (600g)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar 50g
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch 16g
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice 15ml
  • 2 tbsp Honey clear, for drizzling

Equipment

  • 1 8x8 inch baking pan Lined with parchment paper
  • 2 Mixing bowls

Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. Cream cold butter and sugar. Add flour and vanilla, mixing until coarse crumbs form. Press 2/3 into the pan to form a solid, half-inch thick layer.
  2. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes until it is a pale-tan foundation.
Add Filling and Topping
  1. Toss peach slices with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Layer them over the par-baked crust to create a thick, jammy middle.
  2. Mix the remaining dough with a little extra butter and sugar to form chunky pieces. Sprinkle over the peaches.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crumble is golden-brown.
Finish
  1. Warm the honey and create a clear, glossy glaze drizzle over the warm bars. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, refrigerate the bars for 1 hour before cutting.
Use clear honey for the glaze to maintain the vibrant orange color of the peaches.
