Instructions

- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to smooth it out.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust using a spatula.
Step 4: Add the Peaches

- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.

Pro Tips
- Fresh vs. Frozen Peaches: Fresh peaches work beautifully, but frozen peaches are a convenient alternative. Just be sure to thaw and pat them dry to prevent excess moisture in the bars.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days .
- Freezing: Wrap individual bars in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month . Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- Customizations: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the crumble topping for extra warmth. Swap peaches for other fruits like apples, berries, or cherries for a seasonal twist.
