PEACH SQUARES

From America's Test Kitchen. I have yet to try one of ATK's recipes that wasn't delicious and turned out great. Their instructions are great for beginner or seasoned cooks. Frozen peaches work much better than fresh

Provided by SweetSueAl

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sliced almonds
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar (packed plus 1 tablespoon)
table salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 lbs frozen peaches, partially thawed
1/2 cup peach preserves
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Line 13x9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing excess to overhang pan edges. Spray pan with cooking spray.
  • Process flour, 11/4 cups almonds, granulated sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in food processor until combined, about 5 seconds.
  • Add butter and pulse mixture until it resembles coarse meal (some pea-sized pieces of butter will remain), about twenty 1-second pulses.
  • Transfer 1/2 cup flour mixture to small bowl and set aside.
  • Press remaining flour mixture firmly and evenly into bottom of prepared baking pan. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar with reserved flour mixture. Set aside.
  • While crust is baking, remove blade from food processor and wipe out workbowl. Pulse peaches and preserves in food processor until mixture has 1/4-inch chunks, about five 1-second pulses (if larger chunks remain, scrape down sides and pulse 2 more times).
  • Cook peach mixture in large nonstick skillet over high heat until thickened and jam-like, about 10 minutes.
  • Off heat, add pinch salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Pour mixture over hot crust.
  • Using fingers, pinch reserved flour mixture to create dime-sized clumps and sprinkle over peaches.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup almonds over top and bake until almonds are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Cool to room temperature, at least 2 hours. Using foil overhang, lift from pan and cut into 24 squares. Squares are best served on day they are baked because the crust can become soggy with time.
  • To Reheat.
  • To revive, simply place leftover squares side by side (with no spaces in between the squares) on a baking sheet and heat in a 350°F oven until the bottoms are crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool back to room temperature before eating.

PEACH SQUARES



PEACH SQUARES image

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups (7.5 oz) all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats
1/3 cup (2.3 oz) sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces and softened but still cool
1 cup peach preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F with a rack in the lower third. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on opposite sides. Use a second piece of aluminum foil to line the pan, perpendicular to the first, and again, leave an overhang on opposite sides. These "handles" will make it easy to remove the bars from the pan after they bake. Spray the foil thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, oats, sugars, baking soda, salt, and nuts at low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. With the mixer still on low speed add the pieces of butter to the bowl and continue to beat until the mixture is well-blended and resembles wet sand, about 2 minutes. Transfer 2/3 of this mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use your fingers to press the mixture to form an even layer in the bottom of the pan. Bake this bottom crust until it starts to brown, about 20 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, immediately spread the preserves evenly over the hot crust. Sprinkle the remainder of the oat/nut mixture evenly over preserves. Put the pan back in the oven and bake until the preserves bubble around the edges and the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely (at least 1 1/2 hours). Once cool, use the foil "handles" to remove the bars from the pan. Cut into about 1 1/2-inch squares.

Tips:

  • Generous dusting of flour: For a flaky crust, make sure to incorporate plenty of flour when rolling out the dough. This will prevent the dough from sticking and tearing.
  • Keep the dough cold: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. For the best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use ripe peaches: Ripe peaches will have a sweet and juicy flavor that will shine through in the finished squares. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a deep orange color.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the squares tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake until the crust is golden brown: The crust should be a deep golden brown color when the squares are done baking. This will ensure that the crust is cooked through and has a nice flavor.

Conclusion:

Peach squares are a delicious and easy-to-make summer dessert. With a flaky crust, sweet peach filling, and crumbly topping, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a special treat, peach squares are a surefire way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
