In a small bowl, mix softened butter, flour, and powdered sugar until well combined. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking pan. Bake until the crust is lightly golden brown.
1 cup Flour, ¼ cup Powdered Sugar, ½ cup Butter
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before adding the filling.
Make the Peach Filling
In a large bowl, whisk together egg and sugar until light and creamy. Add sour cream, vanilla, salt, and flour, mixing until smooth. Gently fold in the sliced peaches until well coated.
1 Egg, ⅓ cup Sugar, ½ cup Sour Cream, 1 teaspoon Vanilla, ¼ teaspoon Salt, 2 Tablespoon Flour, 3 cup Peaches
Pour the peach mixture evenly over the cooled shortbread crust.
Prepare the Crumb Topping
Grate frozen butter into a bowl or cut cold butter into small cubes. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and oats. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until coarse crumbs form.
4 Tablespoon Butter, ¼ cup Brown Sugar, ¼ cup Sugar, ½ cup Flour, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon, ¼ cup Oats
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the peach filling.
Bake and Cool
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and set.
Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use cold butter for the crumble – Cold butter is the key to getting a perfectly crisp, crumbly topping.
Line your pan with parchment paper – Spray the pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
Let them cool completely – This will make slicing them easier.
Store in the fridge – Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Peaches – If using frozen, thaw and drain them well to prevent excess liquid.
