Peaches and Cream Bars

Simple Peaches and Cream Bars with fresh peaches, creamy custard and a brown sugar crumb crust. So I’m holding onto summer a bit longer and posting another peach recipe, even though the local grocery store is bringing out the apple baked goods and selling cinnamon pine cones already!! I’ve made these peach bars several times this summer and only recently was able to to snaps some pictures of them before we ate them. 

If you like custard peach pie, you will love these bars. They have all the delicious custard in the middle, only they are easier and quicker than peach pie to make. The brown sugar crumb crust is is also addicting just by itself. Before peach season ends, I’m also eyeing this Fresh Blueberry Peach Cake and these Baked Peaches and Cream. What are your favorite things to make with peaches?
