Brown Sugar Peach Skyr Cake Crumble Bars

These brown sugar peach skyr crumble bars are the perfect summer dessert to make! They are so simple to whip together and have the most tender thick brown sugar cake like base. They get topped with a generous slather of caramel sauce and get topped with fresh peaches and a buttery brown sugar crumble.

Swap out the peaches for nectarines or cherries. I suspect apples would be amazing too!
