PEACH CRUMB BARS
Peaches and I have had a rough history. I don’t think it was until last summer that I really gave them another go. They were just so beautiful in my grocery store, straight out of the Garden of Eden, that I had to.
Juice running down your chin, those peaches from Publix were divine! Which led me to made this Peaches and Cream Pie and this Easy Peach Cobbler.
CAN I MAKE THESE AHEAD?
I wouldn’t suggest making these too far ahead of time because the filling will soften the crust. The day of or the day before is fine.
CAN I USE OTHER FRUIT?
Sure! You can use apples, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries.
