Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Heavenly Summer Peach Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut the cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract, then combine with the dry ingredients.
  5. Press two-thirds of the dough firmly into the bottom of the lined baking pan.
  6. Dice the fresh peaches and toss them with cornstarch and brown sugar before spreading over the crust.
  7. Crumble the remaining dough over the peach layer and bake for about 35 minutes.
  8. Cool completely in the pan for about an hour before cutting into squares.
