Peachy Cheesecake Squares
- 2 cups peaches, ripe, peeled and sliced (about 4 large or 7-8 small)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon sugar
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter, chilled (2 sticks)
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel, core and thinly slice peaches (or chop, your choice) Toss peaches with cinnamon sugar and set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift flour and powdered sugar.
- Add the two sticks of butter, and cut into the flour and sugar until mixture is crumbly and a bit dry.
- I use my hands, as I do not have a food processor.
- Remove two cups of the flour/sugar mixture to use later for the topping.
- Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13" pan, evenly, to form the bottom crust.
- Bake crust in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.
- While crust bakes, beat the cream cheese until fluffy.
- Pour in condensed milk and beat until smooth.
- Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
- When crust has baked for 15 minutes, remove from oven and place the peaches over the crust in an even layer.
- Any peach juice can be added on top as well.
- Next, pour the cream cheese mixture over the peaches.
- I try and smooth over any peaches that might be"poking" up throught the cream.
- Now sprinkle the reserved flour/ sugar mixture over the cream filling.
- I use a fork to break up any chunks, so the crust lies evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
- Peaches should begin to bubble, and the outer crust should just be starting to brown on top.
- It is better to cut this dessert into squares when it has cooled entirely, but it is absolutely incredible warm, just from the oven!
- Please store leftovers in the refrigerator.
