Peach Crumb Bars

Peach Crumb Bars (or slices) are an easy dessert made by combining the peach pie with a crumb cake. A delicate crumb base supports a peach and cinnamon filling topped with another layer of crumb dough. This sweet, moist and fruity bar cookies are a perfect way to enjoy peaches while they’re in season.

The taste of Peach Crumb Bars reminds of Peach Cobbler or peach pie.
