Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the dry mixture with the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Press about two-thirds of the crumbly dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. Combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  6. Spread the peach filling evenly over the crust layer in the pan.
  7. Crumble the remaining dough over the peach filling, leaving gaps for the filling to show through.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into bars.
