Ingredients
For the crust and crumble:
- 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (300g)
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (12 tablespoons, 170g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the peach filling:
- 700 gr fresh peaches, 4 - 5 medium peaches (24.7 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190° C). Lightly grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan.
For the crust and crumble:
- Whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add in the cold and cubed butter, and the vanilla extract.
- Use your fingers to work the butter into the dry mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture.
- Transfer the remaining mixture to the pan and press into an even layer. Set aside.
For the peach filling:
- In a medium bowl, stir sliced peaches with peel (optional), sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and cinnamon together until well combined.
Bars assembly and bake:
- Spread the peach filling evenly over the crust and sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the filling. The crumble should not completely cover the peaches at all.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature.
Notes
Keep the bars covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze them in an air-tight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
