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.

Peach Bars
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup canned peach nectar
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 eggs
- powdered sugar, for dusting
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Combine the crushed wafers, ¼ cup sugar, and butter in a large bowl and mix until fully combined.
- Transfer the wafer mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Use a spatula or your hand to press firmly to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In another mixing bowl, combine peach nectar, flour, salt, remaining sugar, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
- Pour peach mixture over the cooled crust, then bake for 28-32 minutes or until filling is just set through the middle.
- Allow bars to fully cool before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
