Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 15 minutes until it turns light golden brown.
Streusel Topping
  1. In the same bowl used for the crust, add brown sugar and ground cinnamon to the reserved crumb mixture, mixing until clumps form.
Peach Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, combine chopped peaches, granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Pour in heavy cream and stir gently until well combined.
Assembling the Dessert
  1. Pour the peach filling over the baked crust, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the peach layer.
Final Bake
  1. Bake the assembled dessert for an additional 45 minutes until the streusel is golden brown and peach juices bubble around the edges.
Cooling
  1. After baking, cool the bars on a wire rack for about 30 minutes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Serving
  1. Slice the dessert into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
