Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add melted unsalted butter and egg, stirring until a crumbly dough forms.
  4. Press about two-thirds of the dough mixture into the bottom of the lined baking pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine diced fresh peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss gently.
