Ingredients
  

Crust Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour The foundation of our pie crust, providing a light and tender texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Just a pinch to enhance the overall flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder This will give the crust a lovely lift, ensuring a fluffy bite.
  • 1 package non-instant vanilla pudding mix This brings a creamy richness and sweet vanilla flavor.
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened Adds a luscious richness.
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients together.
  • 1/2 cup milk Contributes moisture and a smooth texture.
Peach Layer
  • 1 can (28 ounce) sliced peaches, drained You can also use fresh peaches—about three medium ones.
Cream Cheese Layer
  • 1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened Provides a creamy, tangy contrast.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the cream cheese mixture.
  • 3 tablespoons reserved peach juice Infuses the cream cheese with a fruity essence.
Topping
  • 1 tablespoon sugar For a slight crunch on top.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and aromatic spice.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 10" deep dish pie pan or a 9" x 9" baking dish.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and vanilla pudding mix.
  3. Incorporate the softened butter, egg, and milk into the dry mixture. Beat for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Transfer the batter into the greased baking dish, and place the drained peach slices on top.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy, then add the sugar and reserved peach juice. Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the peaches, leaving about 1 inch of headspace.
  7. Sprinkle with cinnamon and an additional tablespoon of sugar, then bake for 30-35 minutes.
  8. Chill the pie before serving for enhanced flavors.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing a dash of vanilla extract into the cream cheese layer. If you prefer a crunchier texture, add crushed graham crackers or nuts on top before baking. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
