Ingredients

Cream Cheese Crust

1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup salted butter, cold
3 ounces cream cheese, cold
1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3 ⅓ Tablespoons heavy cream

Peaches

3 cups sliced peaches
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Crust

Combine flour, sugar, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse a few times to combine.
Slice butter and cream cheese.
Add slices 1 or 2 at a time, pulsing a few times after each addition.
Add vinegar and cream.
Pulse until mixture comes together into a dough.
Lightly form into a ball and place on a piece of plastic wrap.
Flatten slightly and wrap securely.
Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Remove from refrigerator and place on a piece of lightly floured parchment.
Roll dough into a rectangle that is 1/4" thick. Set aside.

Filling

Combine peaches, brown sugar, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
Toss to combine.

Putting It Together

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Layer peaches on crust, leaving a 2" edge of crust around the peaches.
Reserve any leftover liquid.
Fold the edges in over the peaches.
Bake for 45 minutes.
Brush reserved liquid over top of crust and over peaches.
Return to oven and continue to bake an additional 10-15 minutes, until crust is golden brown.

Notes

Don't overwork the pie dough!
Make sure your peach slices are uniform! This allows them to cook evenly.
You don't need a food processor to make this recipe. Just make sure to use a fork or a pastry blender to cut up the cream cheese and butter into the flour. The food processor just makes things easier!
Don't skip brushing the crust and peaches! This helps the crush brown, but also gives the peaches a little moisture without making the crust soggy.
