Category: Tortes

1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
2/3 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
1 egg
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 (28 oz) can peach slices, drained
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 450. To make the crust, mix butter, 1/3 cup sugar, flour, pecans and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 10-inch pie plate. Bake the crust in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.

Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, egg, almond extract, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Gently fold the peach slices into the cream cheese mixture. Spread the filling over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the top. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 and continue to cook for 20 to 25 minutes more.
