These Almond Peach Squares are a delightful treat combining the flavors of almonds and peach preserves in a buttery, crumbly crust. Perfect for snacking or serving at parties!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup peach preserves
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Instructions:

Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Add the almond extract and mix well

Slowly add the all-purpose flour and mix it in until it's well blended

Fill the baking dish with two-thirds of the dough

Press it into an even layer at the bottom of the dish

Spread the peach jam on top of the dough in the baking dish

Break up the rest of the dough and sprinkle it on top of the peach preserves

Spread the sliced almonds out over the top

After the oven is hot, bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

Let the almond peach squares cool all the way in the baking dish before you cut them into squares

Serve and have fun!
