Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup peach nectar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a 9×13-inch brownie pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix vanilla wafer crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until combined.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, covering the entire base.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk peach nectar, flour, 2 1/2 cups sugar, and eggs until smooth and combined.
- Pour the peach custard filling over the cooled crust.

Notes
- You can usually find peach nectar in the juice aisle in a can, carton, or bottle.
- Pulse vanilla wafer cookies in a food processor or blender to make fine crumbs for the crust.
- Chill the bars before slicing for the neatest squares.
- Dust with powdered sugar right before serving so the topping stays fresh.
