Peach Cobbler Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crust and Crumble:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour

For the Peach Filling:

• 5 cups diced fresh or canned peaches (drained)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Crust and Crumble:
   • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
   • Add the baking powder, salt, and flour. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
   • Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Reserve the remaining dough for the crumble topping.
3. Prepare the Peach Filling:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until the peaches are evenly coated.
   • Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust in the baking pan.
4. Add the Crumble Topping:
   • Crumble the reserved dough evenly over the peach filling.
5. Bake the Bars:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
   • Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
6. Prepare the Glaze:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
7. Finish the Bars:
   • Once the bars are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
   • Cut into squares and serve.
