These easy peach crisp bars feature a sweet and tart peach filling topped with a crunchy, buttery oat crumble. Perfect for a quick, fuss-free summer snack that tastes homemade and special.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (about 4–5 medium peaches)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (use less if peaches are very sweet)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of the all-purpose flour. Gently toss to coat the peaches evenly without mashing them.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and vanilla extract. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  4. Spread the peach filling evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping over the peaches in an even layer without packing it down.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling at the edges. Check after 35 minutes to prevent over-browning and tent with foil if needed.
  6. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing into approximately 12 bars.

Notes

Use cold butter for the crumble topping to ensure flakiness. Avoid stirring the peach filling vigorously to keep slices intact. Lemon juice brightens the filling and balances sweetness. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Bars are best cooled completely before slicing to prevent filling from running.
