Layered Custard Bars

Ingredients:


1 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons butter -- cold
2 tablespoons almond liqueur -- *see directions
16 ounces canned peaches -- no sugar add
2 eggs
1/2 cup peach pourable fruit -- *see directions
1 tablespoon butter -- melted
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    
Cooking Instructions:


* For pourable fruit, you may substitute 6 tablespoons peach fruit spread combined with 2 tablespoons warm water. If almond liqueur is unavailable, you may substitute 2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate AND 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.

Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add liqueur; mix well. Press dough evenly onto bottom of 8" square baking pan.

Bake 15 minutes, until set. Arrange peaches evenly over partially baked crust; if using fruit halves, cut into slices first.

Combine eggs and pourable fruit; mix until well blended. Pour evenly over peaches; set aside.

Melt butter; add almonds and cinnamon and mix lightly. Sprinkle almond mixture evenly over egg mixture. Bake 20-25 minutes, until almonds are golden brown and custard is set. Cool completely on wire rack. Cut into bars. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Refrigerate leftover bars.
