Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whipped cream, for serving
How to Make Peach Crumble Dessert Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until the peaches are well coated. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until crumbly and well incorporated.
- Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a crust.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into bars.
- Serve with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor. If they’re slightly firm, let them ripen at room temperature for a day or two.
- For a bit of zing, add a pinch of nutmeg to the oat mixture.
- Make sure to let the bars cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
Easy Variations
- Swap fresh peaches for other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or apples for a different twist.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the oat mixture for extra crunch.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream for an indulgent finish.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
- Fresh berries on the side for a refreshing contrast.
- A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
