Tired of peach pies that turn into a soggy mess?

These peach crumble bars solve the problem of a weeping pie and soggy crust with a thick, juicy peach filling that holds up beautifully AND a sturdy crust that stays crisp, even under all that sweet summer fruit.

Why This Recipe is Always on Repeat in Our Kitchen

Late summer in Washington meant buckets of peaches and a kitchen that smelled like warm fruit and spice – something special was always baking. Peaches make me feel so content and nostalgic in life and this peach pie bar recipe is our go-to when peaches are perfect and we want something sweet without the fuss.

Ingredients for Brown Sugar Peach Crumb Bars

Nothing complicated here – just fresh peaches, a few pantry basics, and that buttery crumble magic that turns golden and crisp in the oven.

• All Butter Pie Crust: We use one double crust of Mom’s Magic Pie Crust – it’s flaky, foolproof, and our forever favorite.
• Peach Chunks: About 7 cups from 7 fresh peaches, peeled or unpeeled. Big chunks hold their shape better and give more texture.
• Brown Sugar: Adds rich, caramel-y sweetness to both the filling and the crumble.
• Cornaby’s Ultra Gel: Keeps the peach filling thick without tasting starchy. You can sub cornstarch in a pinch, but trust us – Ultra Gel is worth tracking down.
• Lemon Juice: Brightens the fruit and balances the sweetness.
• Cinnamon: A little warm spice in both the peachmixture and the topping.
• All-Purpose Flour: Gives the crumble topping its perfect, sandy texture.
• Salt: Just a pinch brings it all to life.
• Unsalted Butter (Cold): Cold and cubed so the crumble bakes into buttery, golden clumps.

One Pan Mexican Chicken Skillet with Zucchini

I have “skeeter syndrome”. I know, it 100% sounds made up. Basically everyone gets mosquito bites and hates the itch, but I have the blessing of being extra, EXTRA allergic.

We sat outside talking to some friends for a quick 15 minutes and I came in with 9 mosquito bites that by the next day were each the size of a tennis ball.

Mom’s Easy Caramel Brownies

My mom’s famous caramel brownies are hands-down the most requested recipe in our family. These cake mix caramel brownies are fudgy, gooey, and unbelievably easy to make. All you need is cake mix, chocolate chips, caramel, butter, and evaporated milk to create the most irresistible brownies ever!

Caramel Brownies with a Cake Mix

My mom has been making these caramel brownies for as long as I can remember. They were the birthday request of choice in our house and a must at every Fourth of July pool party. Everyone looked forward to them. They’re that good. When Cade and I got engaged, I baked a batch for his birthday and left them on his counter as a surprise. Two days passed, and he still hadn’t touched them. He was deep into clean eating and avoiding sugar. I felt crushed. I told him how much it hurt, so he tried one. Ever since, they’ve been his favorite dessert. Now, my mom even mails him a batch every so often.

The secrets? We always use margarine instead of butter. It makes the brownies extra gooey but still hold their shape. Only Betty Crocker German chocolate cake mix and Kraft caramels will do.

Now go make these brownies and leave a little love note for my mom so she feels special.
