Award-Winning Peaches and Cream Pie

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the sides and bottom of a 10-inch deep-dish pie pan.

Step 2
Make the crust: Whisk flour, pudding mix, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add milk, butter, and egg; beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared pie pan.

Step 3
Make the filling: Drain peaches, reserving 3 tablespoons syrup. Mix 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.

Step 4
Beat cream cheese in another small bowl until fluffy. Add 1/2 cup sugar and reserved syrup; beat for 2 minutes.

Step 5
Arrange sliced peaches over crust mixture. Spoon cream cheese mixture over peaches to within 1 inch of the pan edge, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar over top.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes, then chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
