If you’re only going to make one fresh peach dessert this summer, make it these easy Peach Pie Bars with an oatmeal cinnamon crumble topping. Easy to make and full of delicious fresh peaches, these are the perfect pie bars to share at picnics and parties.
We’re in the swing of peach season here in the mid-Atlantic, so of course, I can’t resist sharing a peach dessert. If you’re going to make one peach-based dessert this year, make these peach pie bars.
I love pies, but I’m going to be honest: I love pie bars even more. (See: Raspberry Pie Bars, Cherry Pie Bars, Lemon Pie Bars, Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pie Bars, Blackberry Pie Bars.)
It’s all the best parts of a pie: a delicious crust, a sweet fruit filling, some sort of crumb or crumble topping — but in one-handed, portable, bar form. Pie bars also eliminate the worst, most stressful part of baking a pie: trying to cut it!
How delicious are these peach pie bars? So delicious that even my husband, who generally is not into fruit desserts, commented on how good they were.
The key to making these really good? Use good quality, ripe peaches. You know how an apple pie is still good even with kind of mediocre apples? Under-ripened peaches don’t hide in desserts. Wait until they’re nice and ripe – maybe even just a little overripe.
Trust me – these peach bars are worth the wait.
