Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400°F
For Peach Layer:
- Peel fresh peaches and dice them into small cubes and put into a medium sized bowl.
- Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh lemon juice, corn starch.
- Mix together and set aside while you prepare the other layers.
- Doing this first will allow to peaches to marinade and become more flavorful.
For Crust Layer:
- In a Large Mixing Bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, granulated sugar and combine with a whisk.
- Grate the frozen butter and add it to the flour mixtures, toss with fingers to coat. Alternatively, cut the butter into small cubes and using a pastry cutter or your hands toss it in the flour and break up the pieces into pea sized lumps.
- Slowly pour in half of the hot water, being careful not to burn yourself, and mix with your hands.
- Pour half of the remaining water and mix again. I find sometimes I need the full amount of water and sometimes I don’t. You want the dough to combined and smooth, not sticky.
- Get a 9×13″ pan and line with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the pan into a flat even layer.
- Sprinkle 1/2 of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the uncooked dough.
- Place in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- While cooking prepare the other layers.
For the Streusel Crumb Topping:
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar.
- Melt the butter in the microwave and pour over the flour mixture.
- With a fork mix together until combined and forms large clumps.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon and mix with a fork and set aside.
Layering the bars:
- After the bottom layer is cooked, spoon the peaches over the base layer and spread out evenly.
- Using your hands, crumble the streusel topping evenly over the peach layer.
- Then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar topping evenly over the streusel topping.
- Place back in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until top layer is golden brown.
Notes
- I love any cobbler recipe with fresh fruit but if fruit is out of season use canned and it tastes great too!
