Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for crust and glaze
  • 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 21 ounces peach pie filling one can, recommended brand: Lucky Leaf
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon for filling and glaze
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon for glaze only
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
  • 2 tablespoons milk whole or 2%, for glaze

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides for easy removal. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Remove 1 cup of the crumbs and set aside for topping. Press the remaining crumbs evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a measuring cup.
  • In a small bowl, mix the peach pie filling with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir lightly to break up any large peach slices. Spread evenly over the crust.
  • Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crumbs evenly over the top of the peach filling, covering it completely.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool while preparing glaze.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over the warm bars using a fork or small whisk. Allow bars to cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting.

Notes

For best results, refrigerate bars before slicing. They keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze unglazed or glazed bars for up to 60 days—thaw in the fridge overnight before serving. Feel free to substitute fresh peaches (see FAQ), though pie filling ensures ease and consistency.
