Creating Nectarine Crumble Bars is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to make your delicious dessert:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.

3. Add Butter: Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
4. Reserve Crumble: Set aside about 1 cup of this mixture for the topping.
5. Prepare Fruit: In a separate bowl, toss the sliced nectarines with lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch until well coated.
6. Layer the Crust: Press the remaining crumble mixture into the bottom of the greased baking pan to form the crust.
7. Add Nectarines: Evenly distribute the nectarines over the crust.
8. Top with Crumble: Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture over the nectarines.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the nectarines are bubbly.
