  2. Make the Crust: Combine flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add cold butter and mix until coarse crumbs form. Reserve 1½ cups for topping, and press remaining mixture into the pan.
  3. Bake the Crust for about 15 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
  4. Prepare the Streusel Topping: Mix reserved crumbs with brown sugar until large clumps form.
  5. Make the Filling: Combine granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Fold in peaches, then add heavy cream and vanilla extract.
  6. Assemble the Bars: Pour peach filling over baked crust, then top with streusel mixture.
  7. Bake the Bars for approximately 45 minutes until filling bubbles and topping is golden brown.
  8. Cool and Cut: Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting.
