These bars are delicious with juicy, ripe summer peaches! I made a version of these a few years ago with strawberry jam. You can use a similar shortcut here by using a jar of peach or apricot preserves if you can’t find fresh peaches.

These are crumbly out of the oven, but firm up once cooled. Do not cut them for at least an hour after baking. Cutting them will be even easier if you pop them into the fridge. Once cut, you can transfer them to the fridge and they will stay firm there for up to a week; however they will eventually lose their crisp. They do not stay well on the counter at room temp due to their fresh fruit.
