Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the beaten egg and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Press half of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  6. In another bowl, mix fresh peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon until well-coated.
  7. Spread the peach filling evenly over the pre-baked crust.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the peach filling.
  9. Bake for an additional 40-50 minutes until lightly golden brown on top.
  10. Cool completely on a wire rack before lifting and slicing into squares.
