Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 15 oz canned peach slices, drained
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar.

Step 3

Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.

Step 6

Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 8

Arrange the drained peach slices evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and cornstarch. Stir in the water and lemon juice.

Step 10

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Remove from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon.

Step 12

Drizzle the mixture over the peaches to coat them evenly.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the filling is set.

Step 14

Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.

Step 15

Serve chilled and enjoy your Peaches and Cream Bars!
