This Homemade Peach Crumb Bars Recipe is always a hit. Wait until summer for fresh peaches or use frozen to get that wonderful peach flavor anytime of the year.

I’m in love again.  To properly explain “again”, I should start by saying I have had a love affair with this Southern peach cobbler since I was a little girl starting with my big mama’s recipe.  My allegiance to it is pure and simple and loyal to the core.  During the summers, I usually never deviate from having my favorite dessert ever.  That was until I created this homemade peach crumb bars recipe that are truly giving my favorite peach cobbler recipe a run for its money.

The truth is these bars don’t take much time to make, and that is probably why they are ranking so high on my “must make, must devour” meter right now.  My beloved peach cobbler however takes a bit more time with the creation of the perfect pie crust and filling that needs to be cooked over the stove before it all heads into the oven.

Another thing I adore about these peach crumb bars is the ease of making them.  They seriously cannot be any easier to bake.  I shared a similar recipe for these bars during my demonstration at the Taste of Chicago this summer, and people thought they were oh so simple.

Lastly they are utterly delicious.  The crumble is buttery and sweet and each bite results in a perfect crunch from the crumble.  The peach filling also gives that perfect crumble a run.

With hints of cinnamon and nutmeg spices throughout, its simply fantastic in every single way.  Does this mean I will be giving up my peach cobbler?  Heck naw!  But these peach crumb bars are quite a lovely replacement whenever I crave it.

Ingredients
For the Crumble and Crust:
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch salt
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
For the Peach Filling:
  • 2 - 2 1/2 cups fresh peach slices
  • 1 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
For the Crumb and Crust:
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a 8×8-inch baking pan with the non-stick coating of your choice.
  2. For the crumb and crust, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  3. Next, cut in the cold butter using two forks or a pastry cutter then slowly mix in the egg yolk and cold water. Don't worry if the dough seems really crumbly. It should be!
  4. Next take half of the crumble mixture and press into the prepared pan. The rest should be saved for the top of the bars.
For the Peach Filling:
  1. Stir together peach slices, lemon juice, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla until combined.
  2. To assemble, evenly add peach filling to top of crust.

    I love fresh peaches and this is a wonderful recipe. Because my husband loves peach pie and peach cobbler, I made one change…I increased the filling and it turned out like a cross between pie and cobbler. The two of us ate all of it in two days. What I love about this recipe is the simple and easy-to-make crust which doubles as the crumb topping. We’re trying to take a break before I make another one. Don’t know how long the break will last.
    Again, love it! Thanks Jocelyn!

      Fresh is best. You can also use frozen but make sure they are unthawed and some of the moisture is removed.

    Absolutely heavenly! I made these for a party for my daughter, and out of all the desserts (strawberry tres leches cake, oreo cookie dirt dessert, fudge brownies, you get the idea……), your Peach Crumble Bars were the first to go, hands down. Even my daughter, who can be very picky, couldn’t get enough. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!

    OMGeeee I can see why these are a favorite! Cobbler was *always* on the menu growing up. In Texas, cobbler may as well be as common as Iced Tea! These are so fabulous, Jocelyn! I think what I love most about them is how quick they come together… and everyone looooves peaches! A big scoop of ice cream and your set. Thank you for this my dear! 😀

      Hi Karen, you can completely double this recipe and it will turn out great. Just lengthen the baking time and watch carefully. Let me know how they turn out! Hope you enjoy!

    Peach cobbler was always a favorite of mine growing up, but I do love a good crumb bar! These look like they would give cobbler a run for its money — they look delicious!

    Oh girl I had to come over and check these out! I’m making these this weekend…maybe a low carb version. But I’m a little confused about the ‘blueberry’ filling in the directions? Is it meant to be peach filling?

    Oh I can’t wait to make these! Thank you for a beautiful recipe!

    Wow! that first picture there with the spoon is everything! These look so luscious, and you’re right, so simple to make too! Make me wish summer will slow down so I can make them over and over again:-)

      You totally might not even need the ice cream. I eat them warm with ice cream and totally plain. Fab either way!

    Looks amazing! I have a question, you have blueberry filling in the instructions, but not the ingredient list. Did you mean to say peach filling, or do you add blueberry filling also?
    Thanks!

    I just copied your recipe for Homemade Peach Crumb Bars, I noticed you said blueberries not peaches, I guess you meant peaches, but I can use blueberries too.

    Hi Jocelyn
    If using frozen peaches do I thaw them and use the juice also, is it ok to use can blueberry filing.

      Yes you thaw them and drain the juice. You don’t want the juice to make the bars soggy. Enjoy!

        I was wondering the same thing. I have lots of peaches which I froze from The Peach Truck, 50 pounds!
        I just discovered you from the August 2018 allrecipes magazine. Your recipes sound scrumptious!
