Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 Eggs (large)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 4 Fresh peaches (sliced, peeled)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan or deep-dish pie pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together 1 egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Gradually add this to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan to create the crust.
Arrange the sliced peaches in a circular pattern over the crust, slightly overlapping.
In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 0.5 cups of sugar, cinnamon, heavy cream, and the remaining 2 eggs to create the custard.
Pour the custard mixture over the peaches, ensuring even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden.
Remove the kuchen from the oven and allow it to cool completely before removing it from the pan and serving. Enjoy!
