Ingredients
- 5 large peaches
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tsp cornstarch
- Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Peel the peaches and cut into ¾-inch pieces. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
- For the topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine granulated and brown sugars. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Cut in cold butter pieces with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Stir a lightly beaten egg and chopped hazelnuts into the flour mixture.
- Press half of the flour mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the peach mixture over the crust. Sprinkle the rest of the flour mixture over the peaches.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is light brown. Left the bars cool on a rack and then place in the fridge to chill. This will make the bars easier to cut and remove from the pan. Cut into 32 squares and serve.
