Peach Pie Bars

I rarely remake recipes. Even more unheard of is if I were to make a recipe twice within one week. That’s exactly what I did with these bars. This is the THIRD time I’ve made them, and second time within a week.

After taking these blueberry bars to some friends house the other day, I found myself with half of a bushel of peaches in the house. They were ripening fast and I needed to use them up as soon as possible. I decided to make these bars but with chopped peaches.

When I looked in the fridge, I didn’t have any plain yogurt, but I had some vanilla yogurt that I package up for us to take for breakfast at work every day. Since the vanilla yogurt has sugar in it already, I cut down the amount of sugar in the recipe. It worked like a charm and these bars were not too sweet.

I left the skin on the peaches for two reason. For one, it makes the recipe a whole lot easier. Second, the skin provides a subtle tartness that you lose when you peel peaches. I baked these on a Thursday night, cut them up and put them in a tupperware container to take to work. Then, wouldn’t you know it, I left the container on the counter. So my coworkers didn’t get to try them. These bars are a great way to highlight any fruit that you have in season.
