Ingredients
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2¾ cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold (stick them in the freezer for ten minutes before use)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9×13 inch pan, or spray it with a nonstick spray. In a medium bowl, stir together sugar, baking powder, flour, salt and spices with a whisk. Use a pastry blender (or just get in there with your hands - use your fingers) and blend the butter and egg into the flour mixture. Pat about ⅔ of the crumbs into the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing firmly.
  2. Place peach slices over crumb base in a single layer. Spread remaining crumbs over peaches until coated evenly.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until top is slightly brown and you can see a little color around the edges. Cool completely in pan before cutting into squares.
