The Best Peaches Pie Bar Tips
Sweet and rich, these peaches and cream pie bars are going to impress. You will love making these peach pie bars all summer long!
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Be sure to have your butter, eggs and cream cheese at room temperature or soften in the microwave. This will make sure your ingredients mix throughly, evenly and without lumps. Especially for the cream cheese filling.
- Sift Your Powdered Sugar and Flour: Yes it does take a few extra minutes, but its so worth it. Your crust will be evenly mixed and your glaze will be clump free.
- Refrigerate: The warmer these are the harder they will be to cut. Make sure they cool completely and refidgerating them also helps the filling set so they stay together when eating.
Peach Pie Substitutions
Peaches and cream is a classic combination but you can mix it up too.
- Pie Filling: Any fruit pie filling would work with this recipe. Some good ones to try would be raspberry, blackberry and apple. Using a pie filling that is already thickened will help keep this from being too runny.
- Fresh Fruit: Fresh fruit will give off extra water when baked and could make the dish too watery and soggy. I have not tried it but it’s worth a try. Let me know in the comments how it turns out.
- Add ins: You can add in fruit or nuts to the pie filling to amp up the flavor. Mix in a cup of blackberries with the peach filling to add a bit of tartness. Add chopped pecans to the top crust for a bit of crunch.
Storing Peaches and Cream Pie Bars
Storing these peach pie bars are easy and can be warmed up or eaten cold. Perfect for making ahead or storing after the party!
- Refrigerate: These are best stored in the fridge. Cover tightly and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: These can be frozen, cover tightly and place in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
