Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of sugar together.
- Cut in margarine or butter to form coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture onto the bottom and sides of a well-greased 8-inch baking dish.
- Prepare fresh peaches or other fruit and place over the crust.
- Sprinkle 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar (depending on the sweetness of the fruit) and 1 teaspoon cinnamon over the fruit.
- Beat 2 egg yolks and pour over the fruit mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier crust, ensure your margarine or butter is very cold before cutting it in. If fresh peaches are out of season, consider using canned peaches; just be sure to drain them well. You can also substitute the sugar with honey or maple syrup for a healthier option. For a twist, try adding a bit of vanilla extract or almond extract to the egg yolks for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach kuchen warm or at room temperature, and consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It also goes well with a light dusting of powdered sugar on top. This dessert pairs beautifully with Yummie Cheese Balls for a delightful snack spread.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the peach kuchen tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm the whole dish in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
