Peaches and Cream Crumble Bars
By Lizzie on August 6, 2020
Hello my friends. I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. This happens to be my first blog post since losing my Louie, and I felt it was time to get back to doing what I truly love and what brings me so much joy….BAKING 🙂
Peaches this season are some of the best I have ever tasted. When I was creating this recipe and cutting peaches, I felt as if I was eating more than I was adding to the batter. Peaches are one of my favorite fruits, and when they are in season, there is no better fruit in my opinion.
I decided to create a yummy bar with peaches because you can cut whatever size piece you wish, and freeze the rest to pull out every time you want a delicious dessert!
These Peaches and Cream Crumble Bars will make you fall in love with peaches, if you haven’t already 🙂 I had so much fun creating this recipe, and I ended up eating wayyyyy too much of the bars after they cooled off. They are simply irresistible!!!
I hope you love these as much as I loved making them!!
