Notes
To invite everyone to the table with our Peaches and Cream Cheesecake Bars, making a gluten-free version is as simple as a summer breeze. Swap out the all-purpose flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend, one that’s designed for a 1:1 substitution. Make sure it contains xanthan gum, a key ingredient that mimics gluten’s role, to hold your delightful bars together. For the peach pie filling, check the label to ensure it’s free from gluten-containing additives.
