"KUCHEN IS a filling dessert for this German meal. It's not too sweet, and you can use virtually any of you favorite fruits. As a child, I took great pride in arranging the fruit in the pan. We always made this dessert on the same day of the meal so it would be warm and fresh. A dollop of whipped cream on top was an added treat!

Ingredients

  • CRUST:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • FILLING:
  • 2 cans (one 29 ounces, one 15-1/4 ounces) sliced peaches, drained
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar and salt. Cut in butter to form a dough. Pat lightly into an ungreased 11x7-in. baking pan.
  2. Arrange peaches over the crust; set aside. In another bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in the sugar, salt, flour and sour cream until mixture is smooth. Pour over the peaches.
