It is peach season and this Creamy Peach Pie, also known as Peach Pie with Cream Cheese, is the perfect dessert to make.
It is the summer for tried and true favorites. My daughter and I have been going through old recipes. We have been craving family favorite recipes that we have not had in a long time.
We went to the peach orchard recently. There is nothing quite like fresh from the farm food.
My daughter and I were talking about peach recipes that we have made over the years and I knew that I wanted to make this peach pie with cream cheese again.
Peach cobber is great. I also love my peach pie bars, but occasionally I love a creamy pie like this peach pie.
This recipe makes a great summertime dessert. You do need to make it ahead of time as it needs to chill in the fridge.
It is also easy to make gluten free by using a gluten free graham cracker crust.
Ingredients

that looks delicious!
Do you think you could substitute canned peaches if they were drained?
@Amy, I think you easily could do that. The texture may be a little different, but I think it would be fine as long as they are well drained.
Did you use really small peaches? I got what I believe to be average sized peaches, and only ended up using 6 of them and it still ended up being too big for the crust/lid. Haven’t tasted yet, but it looks very “chunky” so I wasn’t sure if I did something wrong 🙁
@Tara Dawes, I think they were pretty average sized, but we like it chunky. I am sorry that it did not turn out like you hoped it would. I hope it still tastes good.
@Lynn,
It still turned out pretty good (the family seemed to enjoy it), I think next time I will just use fewer peaches, but the recipe is definitely a keeper!
@Tara Dawes, Thanks for letting me know. I am glad you liked it.
