Now, let’s get cooking:
1. Preheat that oven to 350°F, and line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper. Trust me, this step saves so much cleanup time!
1. For the base layer, mix your flour, softened butter, brown sugar, and salt until crumbly. Press it into your prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
1. While that’s baking, let’s make the filling. Toss those gorgeous peaches with bourbon, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon. Let them get friendly with each other for about 10 minutes.
1. For the crumble topping, mix all ingredients with your fingers until you get pea-sized crumbs. Don’t overwork it, honey – we’re not making bread here!
1. Layer the bourbon-soaked peaches over your pre-baked crust, then sprinkle that crumble topping all over.
1. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
Let these beauties cool completely before cutting – I know it’s tempting to dig right in, but patience is a virtue, darling!
The bourbon adds such a sophisticated touch that makes these bars perfect for any gathering, from church potlucks to fancy afternoon teas. And between us girls, it’s just enough to make the gossip flow a little easier at book club! 😉
