Servings 16 squares
Ingredients
Peach Filling:
- 4 cups chopped peaches peel first
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp water
- generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Oat Bar:
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups quick oats
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter melted
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
Instructions
Getting Ready:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line the bottom and up the sides of a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside
Peach Filling:
- In a saucepan or skillet add the chopped peaches, sugar and water and lemon juice.
- Simmer on low-medium heat for about 10 minutes. You want the peaches soft, yet still chunky.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
Oat Bar:
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, oats, sugar and salt.
- Stir in the melted butter. Mix until combined.
- Measure out 1/2 cup of the oat mixture and set it aside for later (this is part is the topping).
- Add the remaining oat mixture to the prepared baking pan. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom the pan.
Putting it all together:
- Spread the cooked peaches evenly over the bottom oat crust.
- Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of oat mixture that was set aside, over the top of the peaches. You can sprinkle it evenly or randomly over the top.
- Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar.
- Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden and the peaches are bubbling.
- Let cool for at least 2 hours before cutting!
