Ingredients

Scale
  • Crumble Crust:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  •  
  • Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  •  
  • Peach Layer:
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled & diced
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 9×13 baking pan with parchment, overhanging sides. Make crumble: Pulse flour, sugar, salt in food processor. Add cold butter; pulse to coarse crumbs. Remove 1 cup crumble; mix with oats, set aside. Press remaining crumble firmly into pan. Bake 15 minutes.
  • 2. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg, vanilla until smooth. Pour over warm crust.
  • 3. Toss peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon. Spoon evenly over cream layer. Sprinkle oat crumble over top. Bake 40-45 minutes until golden and set. Cool completely on rack.
  • 4. Chill 2 hours minimum. Lift from pan, cut into bars. Store refrigerated.

Notes

  • Peel peaches by blanching 30 seconds; ice bath shock preserves color.
  • Cold butter creates shortbread texture; don’t overmix crumble.
  • Room temperature cream cheese prevents lumps in filling.
  • Make-ahead excellence; flavor improves after 24 hours chilling.
  • Freeze bars up to 2 months wrapped individually.
