Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Gradually add melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture and mix until crumbly.
  4. Set aside one-third of the dough for topping and press the remaining dough into the base of the pan.
  5. In another bowl, combine diced peaches with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
  6. Spread the peach filling over the pressed crust layer in the pan.
  7. Crumble the reserved dough over the peach filling evenly.
