Ingredients
  

For the Crust and Topping
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter (room temperature) Make sure butter is softened for best mixing results
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
For the Filling
  • 1 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced Fresh fruit is recommended for the best flavor
  • 1 cups fresh raspberries Fresh fruit is recommended, but frozen can be used
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Take about 1 cup of the crumb mixture and set it aside for the topping later.
  5. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even layer.
  6. In another bowl, gently fold together the diced peaches, fresh raspberries, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the fruit filling.
  8. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares.
