Peach Crumb Bars

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x13 pan with foil or parchment, and spray with non-stick spray.Crust and Topping:Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine granulated sugar, baking powder, flour, and salt.
2. 2
   Add butter, egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat on low speed until the butter is evenly distributed in small pieces and the mixture is crumbly.Dump a little more than half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use your hand or the bottom of a measuring cup to evenly press the dough into the pan. Stir sliced almonds into the reserved mixture (for topping).Filling:Gently stir together all ingredients until combined.
3. 3
   Spread the peaches evenly over the crust, then crumble the reserved dough over the top of the peaches.
4. 4
   Bake for approximately 40 minutes, until the top is light golden brown, and the peach juices are bubbling.
5. 5
   Transfer pan to a rack to cool before cutting into squares. I like to store these in the fridge. They can also be frozen.
