Peach Melba Squares Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

In a separate bowl, combine the diced peaches, raspberry jam, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.

Spread the peach mixture over the crust in the baking dish.

Sprinkle sliced almonds (if using) over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the peach filling is set.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
