Peach Kuchen Recipe

By Thom7747

"KUCHEN IS a filling dessert for this German meal. It's not too sweet, and you can use virtually any of you favorite fruits. As a child, I took great pride in arranging the fruit in the pan. We always made this dessert on the same day of the meal so it would be warm and fresh. A dollop of whipped cream on top was an added treat!

Ingredients

• CRUST:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• FILLING:
• 2 cans (one 29 ounces, one 15-1/4 ounces) sliced peaches, drained
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar and salt. Cut in butter to form a dough. Pat lightly into an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking pan.

Arrange peaches over the crust; set aside. In another bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in the sugar, salt, flour and sour cream until mixture is smooth. Pour over the peaches.

Bake at 450° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°; bake 35 minutes more or until center is set. Serve warm or chilled. Store in the refrigerator.
