I first made this when I was in the 10th grade in high school -- From a 1962 Pet Milk Praise the Cook magazine tear-out. A rich crust topped with fruit and custard -- Not too sweet -- serve warm or cold!

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown evenly, but other than that, these squares were delicious.

These squares are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good.

I'm not a big fan of peaches, but I loved these squares. The custard is so creamy and smooth, and the crust is perfectly flaky.

These peach custard squares were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet peaches and creamy custard was perfect, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I would definitely make this recipe again.
