How to Make It
Follow these simple steps to create your mouthwatering bars.
Preheat
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Combine
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking dish to form the crust.
Beat
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Pour
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust evenly. Make sure it’s uniformly spread to allow for even baking.
Toss
In another bowl, combine sliced peaches, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour. Toss to coat. Layer the peaches over the cream cheese mixture for a fruity topping.
Bake
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and the edges turn slightly golden. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-baking.
Cool
Allow to cool before slicing into bars. Enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness!
How to Store It
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Yes, for up to 3 months. Wrap well to prevent freezer burn.
Reheat: Microwave on low for 30-40 seconds or until warm.
