Ingredients
Scale
For the Vanilla Crust:
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 ounces dry instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
For the Filling:
- 14.5 ounces canned sliced peaches
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons reserved peach juice
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
- Drain the canned peaches in a strainer set over a bowl to collect the juice. Set aside both the peaches and the reserved juice.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and dry vanilla pudding mix.
- Add the melted butter, egg, and milk to the dry ingredients. Beat for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the crust mixture into your prepared pie plate, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Arrange the drained peach slices in a single layer over the crust.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and 3 tablespoons of the reserved peach juice until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture over the peaches, coming to within an inch of the edge of the pie plate.
- In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the pie.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, make sure your cream cheese is truly at room temperature before mixing.
- You can use a larger 29-ounce can of peaches for a more fruit-filled pie.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Delicious served at room temperature or chilled.
