How to Make Creamy Peach Pie

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
3. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes for a firmer crust. Let cool.

Step 2: Make the Cream Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Spread half of the cream filling evenly over the prepared crust.
2. Arrange the peach slices over the cream layer. Reserve a few slices for garnish if desired.
3. Top with the remaining cream filling, spreading it evenly over the peaches.

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches

1. Garnish the top with the reserved peach slices or whipped cream.
2. For extra flavor, mix the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it over the top.

Step 5: Chill and Serve
