To make these Peach Cobbler Bars, start by preparing a buttery crust and pressing it into a baking pan. Mix chopped peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and optional cinnamon to create a sweet filling, then pour over the crust. Top with a crumbly mixture of the remaining crust ingredients and bake until golden and bubbly. Let cool before slicing into bars for a sweet, peachy dessert that’s perfect for summer gatherings or any time you crave a fruity treat.
