Fresh Peach Recipes

At the top of my favorite summer fruits list will always be a fresh peach. They are delicious on their own, or beautiful when incorporated into both sweet and savory dishes. Picking out the perfect peach can be a little tricky sometimes.

What you want to look for when buying peaches for this recipe is a freestone variety, one that the pit removes easily from the flesh. I like to use a Summer Gold or Lemon Alberta, usually yellow peaches. Whichever variety you choose, look for a freestone or even semi-freestone for easy slicing.

In addition, you will want the peaches to be just ripe, not too soft or too hard. Look for peaches that just barely indent when pressed with a thumb or finger. These will be easier to slice and remove the pit.

Preparing Peach Crumb Bars

Let’s walk through the simple steps, while adding in a few tips, to making these tasty Peach Crumb Bar. This recipe is easy to put together and then the hardest part is waiting for them to bake and cool before you can dig in!

To make peach crumb bars, start by first, peeling the peaches, removing the pit and slicing into small cubes.

Then, in a large bowl, combine the peaches, cornstarch, lemon juice and 1/2 cup of sugar. Just toss the peaches until they are all covered in the mixture and let them sit until you are ready to use them.

Next, make the crumb crust and topping. To make the crust combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. I like to use a whisk to break up any clumps and combine the dry ingredients.

Then you are going to add in the cold butter. An easy way to do this is to use a box grater or cheese grater to add small pieces of butter to the dry ingredients, then use your hands or a pastry knife to combine until it is sand like.

Lastly mix in the egg and vanilla until it is well combined. It will resemble dry sand.

Then press half of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with baking spray.

After you have pressed the bottom crust into the pan pour the peaches over the crust. Then sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top of the peaches.

Bake the peach crumble bars for 35-40 minutes, until the crust on top is golden brown and the peaches are cooked down.
