Peachy Cream Bars

It is almost the end of summer. Which means that fresh peaches will soon be out of season.
Fresh peaches are my favorite to bake with. Pies, tarts, these delicious cream cheese bars...yum!
I found this recipe over at JustAPinch.com and adapted it slightly to use all my fresh peaches that I picked up at the store. These are a nice cool treat, and can be adapted if you don't have fresh peaches, to using canned. You could really use any fruit, it is a simple, versatile recipe. I think this is great for potluck days at work!
If you do use fresh peaches, be sure to check out my post on how to peel them easily without losing all the fruit! How to Peel Peaches

Using fresh is my favorite, look at the great color of the fruit when it came out of the oven:
