Can I use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the crust and crumble?

Yes. Substituting brown sugar for all or part of the granulated sugar in the crust and crumble produces a deeper and more caramel-flavored base and topping that pairs wonderfully with the peach filling. Dark brown sugar produces the most pronounced caramel note while light brown sugar produces a more subtle depth.

How do I know when the bars are done baking?

The bars are done when the crumble topping is evenly golden brown across the entire surface and the peach filling is visibly bubbling at the edges of the pan where the filling meets the crust. If the crumble is browning too quickly before the filling has had time to bubble, cover loosely with foil for the final 5 to 10 minutes.

Can I make these in a larger pan?

Yes. Doubling the recipe and baking in a 9 by 13-inch pan at the same temperature produces 24 bars rather than the original 9 to 12. Extend the baking time slightly and watch for the same visual cues of golden crumble and bubbling filling.
