Choosing the Right Ingredients for Peach Cobbler Bars

Best Ingredients for This Recipe

Peaches: Use ripe, juicy fresh peaches when in season. Canned peaches (in juice, not syrup) work great off-season.
Cream Cheese: Full-fat cream cheese gives a smoother swirl and creamy contrast to the crust.
Butter: Use unsalted butter for full flavor control.
Brown Sugar: Adds a caramel depth to the crumble and base.

Buying Tips

Choose peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and fragrant.
If buying canned, opt for “no sugar added” varieties and drain well.
Buy block cream cheese, not the whipped tub version.

Substitutions

Swap peaches for nectarines, apricots, or plums.
Replace cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a tangy, lighter version.
Use gluten-free flour for a GF-friendly option.
