Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Reserve 1½ cups for topping and press the rest into the pan.
  3. Bake the crust for about 15 minutes until light golden brown.
  4. Mix the reserved crumb mixture with brown sugar until clumps form; set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Toss the peaches in this mixture. In another bowl, blend cream and vanilla, then fold into peaches.
  6. Pour the peach filling over the warm crust and sprinkle topping evenly.
  7. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and juices are bubbling.
  8. Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
