1 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Unsalted butter
1 cup (Cold and cubed)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan for ease of removal.
2
In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in 1 cup of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Stir in 1 beaten egg until the dough just comes together—it should be crumbly and slightly sticky. Press half of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan as the crust.
4
Chill the remaining dough in the refrigerator while you prepare the peach filling.
5
In a large bowl, add 5 cups of diced or sliced peeled peaches and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Gently toss to coat the peaches.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Pour this mixture over the peaches and stir gently to combine.
7
Spread the peach filling evenly over the crust in the baking pan, ensuring an even distribution.
8
Take the remaining crumbly dough and sprinkle it generously over the peach layer to create a crumble topping.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden and slightly crispy. To maximize flavor, allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares. This will help the filling set up nicely.
