You’ll never want to make apple pie again after you try these apple pie bars! Tender cinnamon apples are layered over a buttery shortbread crust and topped with chunks of cinnamon-spiced crumble.

You get everything you love about homemade apple pie without rolling out a single pie crust. Thank you, Ina Garten, for our new favorite fall dessert!

And yes, absolutely drizzle them with caramel sauce. You know how we feel about apples and caramel around here!

Ina Garten’s original apple pie bars include walnuts in the topping, but you know what? We actually prefer them without! We left the nuts out so it’s all about that buttery cinnamon crumble and tender apple filling. If you’re a walnut lover, though, you can absolutely add them back in.

Why You’ll Love These Apple Pie Bars

  • Easier than apple pie: No rolling, crimping or worrying about a soggy pie crust.
  • Buttery shortbread crust: The same dough makes both the bottom crust and that irresistible crumbly topping.
  • Two kinds of apples: Granny Smith and Golden Delicious give you the perfect combination of sweet, tart and tender.
  • Perfect for a crowd: Unlike pie, these are easy to slice, serve and take to a party or potluck.
  • Make-ahead friendly: They need to cool completely before slicing, so they’re a great dessert to make ahead of time.
  • Caramel. Sauce. It’s optional, technically. But warm caramel drizzled over buttery apple pie bars is awfully hard to turn down.

No Bake Peaches and Cream Dream Bars

I added a secret ingredient to make the Creamiest Peaches and Cream Bars! I guarantee you’ll be making them all summer!

These no bake peaches and cream bars are everything I want in a summer dessert. A buttery graham cracker crust is layered with fluffy cream cheese filling and juicy peaches, then fridge-baked until perfect.

The inspiration for this recipe came from a conversation with my friend Sarah. She was telling me about a fresh peach dessert her family has loved for years, but there wasn’t a written recipe—just memories of layers of peaches and cream. I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

So I gave it an Oh Sweet Basil twist by borrowing the creamy filling from our favorite Berries and Cream Bars and pairing it with a simple graham cracker crust. After a little experimenting (and discovering that chopped peaches work much better than sliced!), these no bake peaches and cream bars were born. I think they just might become one of your favorite summer desserts too!

Why You’ll Love These No Bake Peach Bars

  • No oven required
  • Perfect for fresh peach season
  • Creamy, light, and refreshing
  • Easy to make ahead
  • Great for potlucks and BBQs
  • Layers of buttery crust, peaches, and cream
  • Perfect balance of sweet and fresh
  • Easy to slice and serve

Ingredients You’ll Need

Simple ingredients come together to create layers of buttery graham cracker crust, juicy peaches, and fluffy cream filling. Here’s everything you’ll need:

  • Fresh Peaches: Sweet, juicy peaches are the star of the dessert. Slightly firm peaches hold their shape best.
  • Brown Sugar: Brings out the natural sweetness of the peaches.
  • Cinnamon: Adds warm flavor without overpowering the fruit.
  • Nutmeg: Just a pinch gives the peaches extra depth.
  • Cornstarch (or EZ Gel): Thickens the peach juices into a light syrup that keeps the bars from becoming watery.

Graham Cracker Crust

  • Sugar: Adds just a little extra sweetness.
  • Graham Crackers Crumbs: Create a buttery, no-bake crust that’s sturdy enough to hold the creamy filling.
  • Salted Butter: Holds the crust together while adding rich flavor.

Cream Filling

  • Heavy Cream: Whips into a light, fluffy
