Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, mixing until well blended.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom of the baked and cooled pie crust.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours to set.
- Just before serving, top the pie with drained peach slices and red raspberry preserves, then drizzle with lemon juice if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using low-fat cream cheese. You can also substitute the peach slices with fresh peaches for added flavor. If you prefer a different fruit preserve, apricot or strawberry would work well too. Make sure your pie crust is fully cooled before adding the cream cheese mixture to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Serving Suggestions
This Easy Cream Peach Pie is delightful on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on the side. For a refreshing drink, serve it with iced tea or lemonade. It’s perfect for summer picnics or gatherings, complementing other American recipes like Grandma Truckenmiller'S Sugar Cookies.
Storage & Reheating
