In the interest of full disclosure I made these bars with blueberries not peaches. I will make them with peaches next time. That said these bars are poetry in bakery. They're tender and sweet without being cloyingly sweet. They go great with vanilla ice cream. I may or may not have eaten all but one piece in a day and I may or may put an ancient druidic hex on the Grandbaby Cakes lady for derailing my weight loss plan for a day. If you're thinking of making peach (or blueberry) pie don't--make these instead. You've been warned.
7.23.18 FYI I sliced three peaches to measure 2 cups. These baked up beautifully moist luscious fruity and just full of fresh peach flavor. Followed the recipe to the letter but in the future I ll increase the cinnamon which I thought was a bit lost. Summer peach season will be coming to an end soon and this was a good way to bid it farewell until next year. UPDATE 6.14.19: Had peaches to use up I was out of vanilla so I used almond extract instead which was equally good. This recipe never disappoints.
So easy to make and really tasty! I used my food processor to make the crumb crust which worked great. After baking for 35 minutes I switched my oven to broil and kept an eye on it just to brown up the top nicely. I just tried a piece still warm with a bit of whipped cream on top. So so so good! Vanilla ice cream would be great with it too. I might skip the nutmeg and bump up the cinnamon next time though just as a personal preference. Thanks for the recipe!
Let me start by saying this was surprisingly simple to make even with the substitutions I ended up having to make. I had 5 large almost too ripe peaches so I doubled the recipe and used a 9 x 12 glass pan no cooking spray so I used a bit of butter. It turned out somehow that I had no vanilla no cinnamon or nutmeg so I used about a quarter of a teaspoon of almond extract and powdered ginger. Because of the lack of spices I chopped a half cup of pecans and added them to the topping for an added crunch. This turned out very well and satisfied my craving for both peach cobbler and pecan pie
I didn't have enough peaches so used part plums. It turned out great although I'm going to try more spice next time I make it.
Really great recipe and easy to follow. I had strawberries that needed to be used up as well so added them to the peach mix.
Excellent recipe - so easy and so delicious. This will go into my summer dessert rotation!
Delicious! Only used half the amount of sugar. Was plenty sweet. I used 3 medium peaches I think I will use 4. Next time I like a lot of fruit.
Super easy to make. Baked in 8x8 used olive oil instead of cooking spray. I added more salt to both the crust and the filling. I did not have Lemon Juice. Used 2 large ripe local Peaches, still turned out great! I will try with other fruit. I didn't actually measure, I just eyeballed, did not have negative effects. I cannot wait to try with other fruit.
