Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Make the filling: In a separate bowl, gently toss together the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Pour the peach mixture evenly over the crust.
  5. Make the topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the peach filling.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crust and topping. You can also add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or almonds to the topping for extra crunch.
