My Favorite Country Recipes
PEACHES & CREAM CHEESE PIE
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 package of "cook-style" Vanilla pudding & pie filling (do not use the instant! lol)
¼ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
3 tablespoons margarine, softened
1 egg
½ cup milk
------------
1 can (16 oz.) sliced peaches, drained (reserve juice)
------------
1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons reserved peach juice
------------
1 tablespoon sugar *
½ teaspoon cinnamon *
------------
Grease or Pam bottom of a 9 or 10-inch deep pie dish. Combine first 9 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour into prepared pie plate. Place drained peach slices over the batter, keeping at least ½ to 1 inch from the edge. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese & next 3 ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium until smooth. Spoon over peaches within the same distance from the edge.
Combine sugar & cinnamon and sprinkle over cream cheese mixture. (* I always keep cinnamon sugar for toast & use that to sprinkle over the pie)
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. Center will be a little jiggley. Cool to room temp; chill until served. Makes 10 servings (if you are lucky lol)

I have tried this with apples, using only cinnamon & no nutmeg & it is good. But the peaches so far have been the best. I'm sure it would be great with cherries, too, but you would have to lower the cinnamon & not use any nutmeg. Maybe increase the vanilla.
This is not a recipe for "calorie conscious" people! LOL
