Ingredients
Crust & Crumble:
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Peach Filling:
2 cups fresh or thawed peaches, chopped
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 °F and line an 8×8″ pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in melted butter until mixture is crumbly.
Reserve ⅓ of the mixture for the topping. Press the remaining ⅔ firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
In a separate bowl, toss peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
Spread peach mixture evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle reserved crumble topping over the fruit layer.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
Use thawed frozen or drained canned peaches if fresh are unavailable.
Swap in berries or apples for a mixed fruit variation.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble for extra texture.
A pinch of ginger or nutmeg adds warmth to the peach filling.
Cool before slicing for clean, sturdy bars.
