Peach Pie Bars

There’s nothing quite like a slice of fresh peach pie: except for these peach pie BARS! All the flavors, super easy to make, with a dense, chewy snickerdoodle-like crust instead of the standard pie crust. These beauties really shine with fresh summery peaches, but can definitely be made with any fruit. Top with coconut whipped cream and prepare to be in dessert heaven!
