Scale

2 ½ cups (350 g/12.5 oz) all-purpose flour

⅔ cup (140 g/5 oz) granulated sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1 ¼ cups (280 g/10 oz) cold unsalted butter

cut into small cubes

¼ cup (50 g/1.7 oz) brown sugar

preferably dark

1 cup (200g/7 oz) granulated sugar

¼ cup (35 g/1.3 oz) all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

5 cups pitted

peeled

and chopped peaches (about 7-8 peaches/2.5 pounds)

6 tablespoons (90 ml) heavy cream

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

optional

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the crust. Add in the cold butter cubes and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press half of the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the peach filling evenly over the crust.
In the same bowl, mix the remaining crust mixture with brown sugar, then sprinkle it over the peach filling.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.

For added flavor, consider using a mix of peaches and nectarines. You can also serve these bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
