Peach Crumble Bars

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

    I came across this recipe in my old mail and was wondering if I could substitute some jar cherries I have on hand, When Peach season rolls around I will definitely try the peach version as that is a camping favorite.

    1. Yes, that should workout just fine Jane.

  3. 5 stars

  4. Mary Anne says:

    My husband likes lemon so can I substitute the peaches for lemon pie filling

    1. I haven’t tried that yet so I can’t say for sure, but if you do try it, would you please let us know if they turn out. Sounds like a yummy idea.
