How To Make A Brown Sugar Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until pea-sized crumbs are formed.
  2. Reserve 2 cups of the crumb mixture for the topping and press the remainder into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

      While you can freeze them, I would not recommend it as the custard filling will likely be extremely “weepy” when you thaw them.

    • Mary says

      Hi, April! Frozen peaches should work in the recipe, but keep an eye out to make sure the texture is staying consistent as they thaw. I hope you love the peaches and cream bars. Happy baking!

    I want to make this but I want to verify the butter amount. It calls for 1 1/4 cups. That is 2 1/2 sticks of butter. Is this correct?

    • Mary says

      Yes, that’s right, Terry. A standard batch requires 2 1/2 sticks of butter. I hope you love the bars!
