Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, preferably heat proof glass baking pan. Cut the peaches in thin slices and set aside. Cut butter into cubes and place in freezer until ready to use.
  2. Place dry ingredients in a food processor and pulse a couple of times to incorporate all the ingredients. Add the cold butter and pulse a few times until butter becomes the size of peas. Add the egg and vanilla and pulse a 2-3 more times. The dough will look very crumbly, however, if you take some in your hand and it comes together it’s ready.
  3. Take about 3/4 of the shortbread dough and pat into the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing firmly. Arrange the peach slices on top in a single layer. Crumble the remaining shortbread mixture evenly over the peaches.
  4. Bake for about 35-40 minutes until the top is slightly brown and you can see color around the edges. Also, if using a glass baking pan you can check the color on the bottom to make sure it’s nice and brown as well. Allow to completely cool before cutting into squares.
  5. Depending on the size you cut the bars, this will make any where from 12 to 24 bars.
