Ingredients
For the crust
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter at room temp
- 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
For the fruit filling
- 6-7 ounces dried peaches not fresh or canned
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) Butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Streusel topping
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter at room temp
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
- Making the crust: Place all crust ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and cut together with a fork or pastry cutter until well combined and form a crumbl dough. Press into bottom of prepared 9x13 dish. Bake until just lightly browned around the very edges, about 20-25 minutes.
- Make the peach filling: Place all fruit filling incredients in a medium sized saucepan and cook over medium high heat, stirring often at the start, until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring every now and then and breaking up large pieces of the peaches, until thick and reduced by about half, 15-25 minutes. Spread this mixture over prepared crust.
- Make the streusel: Combine all streusel ingredients in a small mixing bowl and cut together well with a fork or pastry cutter until well mixed and crumbly. Sprinkle all over the top of peach mixture. Return pan to oven and bake 15-20 minutes, or until top is lightly golden. Allow to cool before cutting (but they are wonderful warm!).
