Delight in the fresh flavors of summer with these homemade Summer Peach Bars. Featuring a buttery, flaky crust topped with juicy, sweet peaches, these bars are perfect for a refreshing dessert or snack on warm days. Easy to make and baked to golden perfection, these bars capture the essence of seasonal fruit in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling:

  • 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased baking pan to form the crust layer.
  2. Layer peaches: Arrange the peach slices evenly over the crust layer, distributing them so every bite will have fruit. Sprinkle the peaches with the remaining sugar to enhance their natural sweetness.
  3. Bake the bars: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crust turns a golden brown and the peaches are bubbly and tender.
  4. Cool and serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares. This helps the filling set and makes serving easier.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid overly juicy filling that can make the crust soggy.
  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the peaches before baking.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To make cutting easier, chill the bars briefly before slicing.
