You'll know what to anticipate from these creamy peach pie bars if you can picture the flavour combination of cheesecake and peach cobbler.
Reminiscent of a traditional peach pie, a smooth, rich cream cheese filling is coupled with juicy slices of bourbon-soaked peaches that have a toasty cinnamon flavour.
With roasted pecans and a fantastic crunch, the crust tastes like a soft crumble shortbread. The secret to a fantastic texture is to rest and refrigerate these pie bars.
Avoid slicing into the dessert too quickly as it could crumble. The key is patience, which will pay off handsomely.
