Ingredients

4 1/2 cups peaches

1 3/4 cup

3 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger

2 Tbsp orange juice

1 tsp orange zest

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup

1 large egg

1/4 cup sour cream

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 Tbsp

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. In a large mixing bowl, toss peaches with orange juice and optional orange zest. Sprinkle sugar mixture over peach mixture and toss to evenly coat, set aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut butter into flour mixture with a fork or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream and vanilla extract. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and stir until well combine. Add in remaining 1 cup granulated sugar and stir until combine. Spread and press half of crumb mixture into an even layer in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Toss peach mixture once more and pour over bottom crumb layer and spread peaches into an even layer . Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over top of peaches into an even layer. Sprinkle top evenly with optional Turbinado sugar. Bake in preheated oven 45-50 minutes until golden.

I prefer these bars warm but you could also serve them cold with sweetened whipped cream). Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
