Peach Crumb Bars

These summery peach bars are a handheld version of a peach crisp and a peach pie. A buttery, crumbly dough is used for the crust and topping and the filling is loaded with juicy fresh peaches.

Enjoy these bars plain, top them with icing, or serve with ice cream. You’ll love this portable treat.
