Peach-Pecan Bars image

Finely ground pecans add nutty richness to the dough that doubles as the bottom crust and top crumble layer of these yummy bars. Cooking down fresh peaches for the filling concentrates their sweet floral flavor and adds more intensity than a jar of prepared jam.

I used fresh peaches from my garden and they were so delicious in these bars. I can't wait to make them again next summer!

I'm allergic to pecans, so I substituted walnuts in the topping. They turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked them.

I had some trouble getting the crust to set properly. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of peach desserts, but these bars changed my mind. The peaches were perfectly ripe and juicy, and the pecan topping added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making these again!
