Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter – softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar or pure cane sugar
- 3 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, you can use 1 to 1 gluten free flour also
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon plus 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt, I used fine sea salt
- 1 any size egg slightly beaten
- 3 medium to large fresh peaches sliced
Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×9 glass baking pan with nonstick spray then lay parchment paper over and spray the parchment paper. Leave a small overhang on each side of the pan. Set aside
2. .In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced peaches, cinnamon, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and egg. Lightly toss them with a large spoon until evenly coated, being careful not to break up the peaches. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar with a rubber spatula. Then, add the vanilla and yogurt and mix again. Set that aside.
4. Add flour and salt into the butter mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your clean cool hands to mix the dough. The dough will be crumbly.
5. Press half the dough into the prepared baking pan and even it out with a spatula.
6. Add the peaches over the crust in an even layer. Then, crumble the remaining dough over the top of the peaches.
7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until bubbly and lightly brown on top. Check after 35 minutes. Let the crumb cake cool almost completely. Either pick up the two ends of the parchment paper and lift out. Then, cut into bars or, you can cut into bars right in the pan. Enjoy!
