Peach Cobbler Crumb Bars
Ode to Peach Cobbler
Peach cobbler crumb bars are a play on one of my favorite desserts the peach cobbler. Boy, does this remind me so much of home and the great juicy peaches you can get down south in the summer and really all over the country.
I developed this recipe in honor of that dessert. Over the crumb crust you will find a creamy cream cheese filling and sliced peaches topped with another layer of crumb topping. Biting into this treat brings a combination of flavors and textures that will bring that taste of peach cobbler home in a bite sized version. However, it is of special note that a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on each bar might just take it over the top.
