Peach Kuchen

Peach Kuchen

If you are German, you know exactly what I'm talking about... My grandmother used to make this for us all the time.  It has all the things that German cooking should have; Heavy Cream, butter and recipe components that use "pinch of, dash of" ect...  Hope you enjoy. :)

Crust:
3/4 c Heavy Cream
2 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/4 c flour

Filling:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 large cans of peaches, (cut into bite size pieces)

Topping:
1/3 c flour
2/3 c sugar
1/4 c butter, softened, NOT melted... but if you do, add a little extra flour

You will also need a 9x13 baking pan, bowl, spatula, cooling rack.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix the crust ingredients thoroughly and press into the bottom of the baking pan
3. Mix the filling together, (Hint: add eggs first, beat, then other ingredients in the order they are listed, makes mixing easier.) Pour the mixture over your crust.
4. Blend your topping together, crumble and sprinkle over the top of your dessert, 
5. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.  

Even if you aren't German, I'm fairly certain that you will enjoy this recipe.  My poor boyfriend has endured countless recipes that I grew up with and still eats what I cook, and sticks around.    Lucky me or lucky him?
Let me know what you think. :)
