Peach Cobbler Bars have a buttery flavor and a sugary glaze. Made from fresh summer peaches and flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Peach Cobbler is my absolute favorite summer dessert. Usually I make this Easy Peach Cobbler or Oatmeal Cookie Peach Cobbler. But I thought I might try it in a new form- Peach Cobbler Bars.
We live right in the middle of South Carolina peach country and there’s a farm stand with fresh peaches only a short walk from my house. I try to take advantage of them and use them for everything from pancakes to cocktails to salsa.
While I am still partial to a warm bowl of peach cobbler, these bars are perfect for when you need a quick and easy cleanup. No spoons or bowls required.
Peach Cobbler Bars have a buttery flavor with a hint of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger plus a little almond extract.
This recipe makes a 9×13-inch pan full of bars so it is perfect for picnics and potlucks. We ate them plain, but I’m sure they’d be even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
RECIPE TIPS:
I use fresh peaches but you could use frozen. Make sure to use very ripe peaches to get plenty of sweetness.
I drizzled a simple glaze on top for a little extra sweetness, but it’s really not necessary. Especially if you serve them with ice cream or whipped cream.
