  • 3 cups peaches, peeled and diced

Instructions

  3. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.

  5. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust layer.
  7. Toss the peaches with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice, then spread evenly over the cream layer.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the peach layer.
  9. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  10. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Canned or frozen peaches can be used if fresh peaches are unavailable.
  • Drain canned peaches well before using to avoid excess moisture.
  • Add berries like raspberries or blueberries for extra fruity flavor.
  • Chopped pecans or almonds add extra crunch to the crumble topping.
  • Refrigerate the bars because of the cream cheese layer.
  • Bars can be frozen individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
