If you love lemon bars, you’re going to want to try this peachy twist. Peach Bars have the same buttery crust and soft, creamy filling you love in a classic lemon bar, but with sweet peach flavor in every bite. Bake up a batch to capture those juicy summer flavors!

The crust starts with crushed vanilla wafers, sugar, and melted butter. It comes together quickly and bakes up into a crisp, buttery base with a hint of vanilla. Once the crust has had a few minutes to cool, the peach filling goes right on top.

The filling is made with canned peach nectar, eggs, sugar, flour, and a little salt. It bakes until just set, leaving you with a soft, tender layer that slices beautifully once completely cooled. The peach flavor is sweet without being too heavy, and the vanilla wafer crust gives the whole thing a nice crunch.

Let them cool completely before slicing and give the tops a generous dusting of powdered sugar. They’re easy to make, easy to serve, and a fun change of pace from the usual lemon bars.
