Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 23 tablespoons ice water

Peach Filling

  • 3 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (about 34 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to enhance flavor and prevent browning)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough holds together. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking pan, forming the base for the bars.
  2. Make the Peach Filling: In another bowl, toss sliced peaches with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice until well combined, making sure the peach slices are evenly coated with the sugar and spice mixture.
  3. Assemble the Bars: Spread the peach filling evenly over the pressed pie crust in the pan, distributing it in an even layer to ensure consistent baking and flavor throughout.
  4. Bake the Bars: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the peach pie bars for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • You can use frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing with sugar and cinnamon.
  • For an added crunch, sprinkle some oats or chopped nuts on top before baking.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
