Peach Quake Pie

I invented this pie from cross breeding from several favorite recipes. So far the comments have been. "It's good." " It's not just good" And "Come back in about 2 minutes with another piece for me"
Morgan named it so honors to her.
1 graham cracker crust
1 8 oz. pgk. cream cheese
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 -2 c fresh chunkes peaches sweetened slightly ( I used about 2 tsp sugar)
1 c. cold water
1 pgk instant cheesecake pudding
About 2 c. Cool Whip

      Get the peaches sweetened. Beat cream cheese until soft. Slowly add water and milk (I think it might have been better with 1/2 c of milk and this could have been firmer, but it filled two crusts).  Add the pudding and beat until mixed. Fold in peaches and whipped topping. I tried a bite....not for a diet at all! We are loving the peaches this year. Thank you to our good neighbors the Barkers for sharing. I also tried new recipes for peach cake and two peach salsa.


Peach Cake (from pickourown.org)
7 or 8 peaches peeled and sliced
1/2 c sugar or Splenda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 pint sour cream can be from fat free to regular
1egg slightly beaten
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
3/4 cube margarine

   Mix cake mix with butter using a pastry blender. Press in the bottom of a 9X13 pan. Bake 350* for 10 minutes. Cover with sliced peaches. Sprinkle with mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Mix sour cream with egg adn drizzle over the top of the peaches. It will not cover them completely. Bake 350* for 45 minutes. This was good also. More like an upside down cobbler than cake however.
