A quick and easy peach cobbler bars recipe featuring a juicy peach filling and a buttery cinnamon crumble crust, perfect for a cozy homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 600g)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (100g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (225g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Optional: 1/2 cup oats (45g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy bar removal later.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and optional nutmeg and oats. Add the cold, cubed butter.
  4. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks.
  5. Press half of the crumble mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan to form the crust base.
  6. Spread the peach filling evenly over the crust, making sure not to overload any spots to avoid sogginess.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the peaches, breaking up any large clumps for even coverage.
  8. Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into bars. For cleaner slices, chill the bars for an hour after cooling, then use a sharp knife dipped in hot water (wiped dry before each cut) to slice.

Notes

Keep butter cold when making the crumble to ensure a crisp texture. Use cornstarch in the peach filling to prevent sogginess. For cleaner slices, chill bars after cooling and use a sharp knife warmed and wiped between cuts. Optional additions include nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch. Substitute almond flour for gluten-free or coconut oil for dairy-free versions.
