No Bake Peach Pie Bars

 If you are anywhere close to Chilton County you know we are known for our deliciously sweet peaches.  The first year I moved here I was so hooked that when the season ended I shed actual tears!  I got this recipe from Bethany Hamilton but hers uses apples.  I had to use peaches!  I also subbed hazelnuts for cashews due to friend's allergies.

No Bake Chilton County Peach Pie Bars

For the Pie crust:

2 cups chopped dates
1 c raw almonds
1 c raw cashews or hazelnuts
1 tsp lemon juice

Put all ingredients into a food process and pulse until well chopped and easily forms dough.  Press into a pie crust or bar pan or a 9x13, lined with parchment paper.

For the filling:

8 or 9 chilton county peaches, diced
1-2 TB maple syrup
2 TB ground flaxseed
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice, optional

Put 1/2 of the peaches into a food processor with the rest of the ingredients and pulse.  Pull out the blade and stir in the rest of the peaches.  Pour on top of crust.  Refridgerate for an hour and serve!
