Step-by-Step Instructions for Peach Crumble Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually fold in 3 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt until a crumbly dough forms. Press two-thirds into the prepared pan.
  4. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes until pale golden and set.
  5. Combine chopped peaches, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a saucepan and simmer until thickened.
  6. Spread the peach filling evenly over the warm crust, then crumble the remaining dough mixed with old-fashioned rolled oats on top.
  7. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until topping is golden and filling bubbles.
  8. Cool completely, drizzle with honey, and let set for an hour before slicing.
