When making the Peaches and Cream Cheesecake, feel free to substitute the fresh fruit with other fruits if you prefer.

If you’re dealing with allergies, be mindful of gluten in the flour and dairy in the cream cheese and milk.

- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 (28 ounce) can sliced peaches
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, 1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mixing well to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Add 1/2 cup milk, 1 lightly beaten egg, and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the mixture is blended and smooth.
- Pat the mixture evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9 or 10-inch round baking dish, creating a crust.
- Drain the 1 (28 ounce) can sliced peaches, reserving 3 tablespoons of the peach juice for later use.
- Arrange the peach slices evenly over the prepared crust.
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and the reserved 3 tablespoons of peach juice until well blended, scraping the bowl occasionally for a smooth texture.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the arranged peaches, making sure to cover them well.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon over the top for added flavor.
