Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla until dough just comes together.
  5. Press two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  6. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly over crust.
  7. Toss diced peaches with cornstarch and a little sugar (optional). Spoon over cream cheese layer.
  8. Sprinkle remaining dough over the top as a crumble.
  9. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until top is golden and filling is set.
  10. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen or canned peaches when fresh aren’t available—drain well.
  • Try other fruits like raspberries or nectarines for variety.
  • Brown butter adds a rich twist to the crust.
  • Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can be added to the crumb mix.
  • Bars are best chilled; reheating is not recommended.
