Well I can’t believe this wraps up Stone Fruit Week!  I’ve been planning it for months and now it’s finished in a snap.

The great news is that where I live peaches and plums are in season so I have a ton of new recipes that I can’t wait to make.  Stone fruits are one of my favorites and I hope I make it to the local orchard to go peach picking before they are done for the season.

While these peaches weren’t hand picked by me I did manage to get them at the farmer’s market.  I love getting my fruit at the farmer’s market because I can get 8-10 peaches for $3 while the same amount would cost me around $8 at the grocery store.  Plus I know that they are coming from a local orchard and I like supporting our local farmers as much as I can.

So today I’m sharing these amazing Peach Pie Bars.   They are so good they I had to get them out of the house or I would have eaten all of them.  They were that good.   The base is a shortbread cookie which is one of my favorites.  Then the filling layer consists of peaches, sugar, and cinnamon.  Then there is a nice crumble on top.

These bars were so good.   The bottoms were buttery and sweet with the peach filling layer tasting just like peach pie.  The crumble on top gave it a bit of crunch and helped it to taste like pie.  All in all these are the perfect bars to take to a summer cookout or picnic because they travel well and will be gobbled up quickly.
