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.

Are the peaches with or without skins?
Should I have placed 3/4 of a cup of the flour mixture or 3/4 total of the flour mixture on the bottom?
Based on the photos is appears that it’s more TOTAL as opposed to cup.
They are cooking on the counter and I am excited to cut in to them.
What exactly is the purpose of lining with foil? Other than it ripping when you try to get stuff out of the pan? Next time will definitely will use parchment or nothing at all.
Parchment paper definitely works better than foil. But I wonder how many people have it readily available in their kitchen.

Hi
How do you store these bars and how long do they last.
I store them in the refrigerator and then if I want to serve them warm, I microwave them briefly. They should be good for 3 days or so.
Yes, please! I haven’t made peach cobbler in forever but now I’m totally craving it. I think a batch of these bars is definitely in order soon!
I haven’t made peach cobbler in so long and I’m wishing I had some right now! These bars look so delicious, Christin!
