Peach Crumble Bars - piece of peach cumble bar on a white plate with jug of milk in backgroundWhen you’re a cook, summertime means summer fruit. Red cherries, ripe berries, cool melons…and the real stars of the summertime show, sweet, juicy peaches. They’re delicious in so many ways: fresh, sliced on cereal, blended into smoothies, and of course, baked into yummy desserts.

To celebrate peach season, I whipped up this little treat: Peach Crumble Bars. A crumble is like a crisp, but without the oats. The topping is just made from flour, sugar, and butter, all mixed together with a pastry cutter until it’s – you guessed it – crumbly. Just press a layer of this mixture into your pan to make the crust, then add a layer of sweetened, diced fruit, and sprinkle the rest of the crumbs on top.piece of peach crumble bar on a white plate with jug of milk in background and sugar sifter sitting left of the plate

The nice thing about this peach dessert is that you really don’t have to do anything to it. Peaches taste so fabulous on their own they don’t need cinnamon or anything fancy to bring out their flavor. All you need is a little splash of vanilla in the crumble mixture and a drizzle of powdered-sugar icing on top to make the bars extra sweet and moist.

Sweet, golden, and crumbly, these Peach Crumble Bars are basically the taste of summer in a pan. Enjoy it while you can.Peach Crumble Bars ingredients for the recipe in glass mixing bowls

    1. What are you wanting to leave out of the recipe Sharon? I have only made the recipe as written, so I can’t say for sure.

    2. Can I use canned peaches?

    3. Yes, canned peaches should work out just fine. Make sure they are drained completely.
