Peach Crumb Bars

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. 2
   Place the diced (or sliced) peaches in a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.
3. 3
   For the Dough: In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter, and then the egg. The dough will be crumbly. Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan.
4. 4
   Mix gently. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
5. 5
   Place the pan and the remainder of the dough in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
6. 6
   Pour over the peaches and mix gently.
7. 7
   Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the peach layer.
8. 8
   Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
