For the Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

For the Peach Filling:

  • 3–4 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

  4. Make Crumb Topping: In another bowl, mix flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbs form.
  5. Assemble: Spread peach filling over crust. Top evenly with crumb mixture.
  6. Bake: Bake 45–50 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool completely before slicing.
  7. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy plain or with ice cream. Store leftovers in the fridge or freeze for later.
