Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with a piece of parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Pour in the melted butter and stir until a crumbly dough forms.
Press 2/3 of the dough on the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, egg, and remaining sugar.
Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the crumble base and spread the peach jam on top of the cream cheese layer.
Crumble the reserved crumble topping on top of the peach jam and transfer to the oven to bake until lightly golden and puffed, approximately 35-40 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
Momma Peach's Baking Wisdom
Just like Momma Peach always says at the bakery, "The secret to perfect bars is patience – let that cream cheese come to room temperature naturally." She also recommends experimenting with different jam flavors throughout the seasons, though peach will always hold a special place in her heart.
These bars transport beautifully for picnics or potluck dinners, and they keep beautifully in the refrigerator for several days.
