Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
For the crust, cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy, then mix in flour and salt. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
While the crust bakes, prepare the peach filling by mixing diced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
Once the crust has cooled slightly, spread the peach mixture evenly over it.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, sour cream (or yogurt), flour, and vanilla for the topping.
Pour the topping over the peach layer and bake for an additional 35–40 minutes until set and golden.
Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
