Instructions
Creating Peaches and Cream Crumble Bars is simple when you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly.
2. Make the Crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, melted butter, oats, baking powder, and salt. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Press the Mixture: Take about two-thirds of the crust mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust layer.
4. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread this mixture over the crust evenly.
5. Add the Peaches: Evenly distribute the diced peaches over the cream cheese layer to add that fruity goodness.
6. Top with Crumble: Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture over the peaches, covering them generously.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
8. Let It Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 20-25 minutes before slicing.
9. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve at room temperature or chilled.
