This incredible summer dessert was created using Walmart Produce as part of a sponsored post for Social Stars.
Cinnamon Streusel Peach Pie Bars are sure to be a hit at your next gathering!
There are so many things to love about each and every season…summer’s fresh fruit is one of those things, especially here in the Midwest where we really endure winter. This year I’ve been practically hoarding enjoying all of the fresh produce I can get my hands on, I’m not sure if that’s because last winter was ridiculously harsh or the fact that it’s already August (!) and I’m not ready for summer and all of the fruits and veggies to end. #probablyboth
I wanted a rather portable dessert to take to a picnic over the weekend and pie bars were the way to go. I grabbed fresh peaches from the Walmart Produce section, which shine when combined with just a few simple ingredients. Stone fruits, like peaches, plums, cherries, apricots and more, are ready and waiting for you at your local Walmart. Did I mention their 100% money back guarantee on all their produce? It’s true, they’re all about happy customers.
A buttery crust is pressed into a 9×13 baking dish topped with fresh peach slices and sprinkled with a cinnamon streusel…seriously summer in a handheld bar. And pretty easy too. You can easily peel peaches by dropping them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, letting them cool just a few minutes and the skin comes right off. My pie-loving husband was thankful that I didn’t take the whole pan to the picnic and saved a few for him to enjoy later because he totally couldn’t get enough of these!
