Ohhhhh my moly.
If I were the demanding type I’d demand that you make these immediately. I’m not, of course so I’ll just strongly suggest it.
The peaches are so good this year and I bought more than I’ll ever be able to eat, so I wanted to some up with something to do with them. This is based on the apple crisp recipe, but with more of the crumble part so that you end up with a crust. It is OH so good.
Craisin peach crumble bars
Ingredients
- 2 medium-to-large peaches, chopped
- 1/3 cup Craisins
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and chop the peaches, then put them in a saucepan with the Craisins, cornstarch and sugar. Bring it all up to a nice bubble and let it cook till it thickens, then set aside
- Cream butter and sugar, then mix in remaining ingredients — it will look coarse like a crumble topping
- Take two cups of crumble mix and press into a greased 8×8 dish and bake till it’s lightly browned, around 10-12 minutes, then spread fruit mixture over crust. Sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture over the top and bake till that’s lightly browned, about another 15-18 minutes or so
Fast and good! How can you beat that?
Oh wow this looks amazing!! Peach crumble in bar form? MUST GET PEACHES ASAP!
I’m making this right now for a party on Friday night. It smells amazing! Should I put it in the fridge or freezer so it will keep better?
The smell is awesome isn’t it? I kept mine on the counter and they were fine but the topping lost its crispness in our rockin’ humidity. I’d maybe freeze them and see how the texture is when they thaw? Might want to leave time to pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to crisp them up again.
Our peaches just came in here in MI, the kids and I picked today and I’m gonna make these tonight I think.
Just found your site (via StumbleUpon) and it’s awesome! I love all your recipes. And then I noticed you live in Nashville and that’s even better! My sister lives there and we love visiting – great city! π
Aw how fun — welcome and thanks! π And it IS a great city! ~OPK
Hmmm…I love a good apple crisp and the peaches sound intriguing but I’m just not a Craisins fan. Would you recommend leaving them out or substituting with raisins?
I’d just leave them out. π
