A delightful twist on the classic peach custard cake, these bars are perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use cold butter for a flakier crust.
Press the crust mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9x13 baking pan.
Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to evenly press the crust.
Slice the peaches and arrange them evenly over the crust.
Ensure the peaches are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the peaches.
Adjust the cinnamon to your taste preference.
Bake the crust and peaches for 20 minutes.
Check the crust edges to ensure they don't overbrown.
Whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk until smooth.
Whisk thoroughly to avoid lumps in the custard.
Pour the custard mixture over the baked peaches and crust.
Pour slowly to avoid displacing the peaches.
Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the custard is set.
Gently shake the pan to check if the custard is set; it should jiggle slightly.
Let the bars cool completely before slicing and serving.
Cooling ensures clean slices and better flavor.
