Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 large egg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl or using a stand mixer, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 3 cups flour, 2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1 cup cold butter, 1 egg, and 1 tsp vanilla. Beat on low speed until crumbly.
- Press a little more than half of the crumbly dough mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, toss sliced peaches with 1/3 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch, 1-2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust and crumble the remaining dough over the top.
- Bake for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares. Optionally drizzle with icing.
