It’s a bar, NO it’s a cookie – fact is Peach Crumb Bars are the perfect blend. Get ready for a lot of smiley faces, and requests for seconds!
As summer is beginning to wind up, I find myself trying to enjoy as much summer fruit as possible. Peaches happen to be one of my favorites. I can’t seem to ever get enough of them. I love to eat them out of hand, grilled in salads, in pies, cobblers, and now in a delectable bar cookie! When I saw this recipe I about flipped. It seemed like a peach cobbler combined with a bar cookie. Seriously? Well, hello peach deliciousness! Two of my favorites things evah rolled up into one treat!

Peach Crumb Bars
Ingredients
- 3 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Ground Ginger
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Lemon Zest
- 1 Cup Unsalted Butter Chilled and Cut into Chunks
- 1 Egg Large
- 4 Cups About 4 Large Peaches, Peeled and Sliced
- 4 Teaspoons Cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of the sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, salt and lemon zest. Add the butter and toss with the flour mixture. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter until the size of peas. Whisk the egg slightly, and stir it into the crumb mixture. The dough will be crumbly. Press half of the dough into the prepared baking pan.
- In another bowl, stir together remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch. Add the sliced peaches and gently mix. Spoon the peaches over the crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the peach mixture.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares. Stores really well in the fridge.

September 5, 2011 at 11:52 pmGeez, these look great! I could go for a peach crumb bar right now!

September 5, 2011 at 7:40 pmI have some white peaches I just bought the other day that are perfect, right now so I've been thinking about making a cobbler today but this wins. Love something different and this is it. I will most likely succumb to my natural tendency to add some adult beverage to the mix and am already thinking a bourbon peach bar. Yep…on it now!
Not enough booze to make ME stumble but good enough to get stumbled!
Barbara says
September 5, 2011 at 4:02 pmThat really looks good, Kathleen. And the peaches are perfect right now too!

September 5, 2011 at 12:13 pmI'm going to try these since I still have a pile of peaches on the counter and I've run out of ideas! My favorite thing to make with peaches is a crumble, and these look like a peach crumble that you can eat with your hands. I love the generous amount of fruit in the middle of yours…yum!
