PEACH & PECAN OAT CRUMBLE BARS

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield 9x13

Number Of Ingredients 23

Base Dough
1 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature for 1 hour
1/2 packed cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Peach Filling
2 pounds peaches, unpeeled (about 8 peaches)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pecan Oat Topping
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature for 1 hour, divided
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup flour
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze
Juice of 1 lemon, about 3 tablespoons
1/2 to 1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl, using a hand mixer) cream the butter with the brown sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Turn off the mixer and add in the flour, salt, ginger, and cinnamon. Mix dry ingredients in just until the dough is soft and pulled together. Press the dough firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and refrigerate while preparing the filling and topping. Roughly chop the peaches into 1/2-inch pieces and toss with the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside. Wipe out the mixer bowl and mix 1/4 cup softened butter with the oats, flour, pecans, cinnamon, and salt until soft and crumbly. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter and set aside to cool. Spread the chopped peaches over the chilled dough base. Evenly crumble the topping over the peaches, and drizzle with the melted butter. Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is lightly browned. Whisk together the lemon juice with enough powdered sugar to make a thin glaze. Drizzle over the bars. Cool (or chill) for at least an hour before slicing and serving. I do recommend chilling these; they will stay fresh (and slice more cleanly) for about 5 days when stored well-covered in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy peaches: This will ensure that your crumble bars are bursting with peachy flavor.
  • Use a food processor to make the crumble topping: This is the easiest way to get a evenly-sized and crumbly topping.
  • Press the crumble topping into the pan firmly: This will help to keep the bars from falling apart when you cut them.
  • Bake the bars until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling: This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Peach crumble bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that are perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and juicy peaches, buttery crumble topping, and flaky crust, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these peach crumble bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
