My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Peach Bars

This is a perfect dessert to help you use up the abundance of summer peaches you have.

5 cups peeled and sliced peaches
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 Tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon

Topping:
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 egg beaten
1/2 cup butter (melted)

In a large mixing bowl, lightly toss peaches with brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon and arrange in an 11 x 7 baking dish.

To prepare topping:  In a mixing bowl, sift the first five topping ingredients together; add egg and mix with a fork until mixture is crumbly.  Sprinkle over peach mixture, drizzle melted butter evenly over topping.  Bake at 375 degrees for 55 minutes or until peaches are soft and topping is golden brown.  Cut in squares and serve warm or cool.
