Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spray a 9x9 pan with nonstick spray and line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Make the Peach Filling
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, light brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Allow it to cook for about 4-6 minutes until bubbling.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with the water, then stir this into the peach mixture. Cook for an additional minute before removing from heat and adding the vanilla.
  3. Transfer the filling to a medium bowl and let it cool completely in the fridge.
Make the Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, melt the butter and mix in the remaining bar ingredients, reserving one cup for the topping.
  3. Press the rest firmly into your prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Spread the cooled peach filling evenly over the crust, then sprinkle or dot the reserved crumble mixture over the peaches.
Bake the Bars
  1. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 28 to 33 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
  2. Let the bars cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
Glaze
  1. Whisk together all glaze ingredients, adjusting for consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

Notes

These bars can be served with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an extra flavor burst, consider adding diced strawberries or blueberries to the filling.
