Just Peachy Pecan Pie

One bite of this delicious-ness will have you rolling your eyes and your lips smackin. This pie brings the South to a whole new level! Cream cheese, buttery pecan taste and sweet peaches...Yumm!

• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Cook time: 40 minutes
• Total time: 50 minutes
• Servings: 6

• 8 ounce(s) of pkg. Philly Cream Cheese - room temperature
• 4 Eggs
• 1/3 cup(s) of Sugar
• 1/4 cup(s) of Sugar
• 1/4 tsp. of Salt
• 4 Eggs
• 1 9 inch unbaked pie shell {package brand}
• 1 1/2 cup(s) of chopped Pecans
• 2 tsp. of Vanilla
• 1 cup(s) of Light Corn Syrup
• 3 fresh Peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced {if peaches aren't in season - try mango's!}

Steps

1.         1.           Pre heat oven to 375. Place unbaked pie crust into 9 inch pie pan. Combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup of the sugar and salt - beat in mixer until smooth. Now add 1 egg and 1 tsp. of the vanilla until well mixed. Pour this combination into your pie crust. Sprinkle top with all your pecans spreading evenly from edge to edge.
      2.           Combine 3 eggs, corn syrup, 1/4 cup of sugar and the final tsp. of vanilla. Beat well - til creamy then pour over the pecans. Now place your sliced peaches as the top layer in a fan design or flower pedal design. Place pie on a cookie sheet to avoid spillage. I suggest you cover the edges of crust with foil until the last 15-20 minutes of baking to keep from over browning. Same thing with the top of the pie if it is getting to brown in the last 15 minutes of the baking, just place lightly a piece of foil over the body of the pie, but not the edges! Bake 40-45 minutes or until pie is set. Let pie cool completely on a cooling rack. Then refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving. 

P.S. HOW could I forget to tell you about my recent Philly experience.  OK...so it wasn't PHILLY per say - but it was the "Burbs" of Philly.  My best 2 friends in the entire Universe and I did a little "Best Friends Reunion" for a few days.   We always make a Hoagie or Cheesesteak stop.  This time it was at my friend Linda's favorite sandwich shop near her home.  Can I tell you...it was great! The shop is called Franklin's Classic Steak & Hoagies in Limerick, PA.  We split 1/2 of each {a hoagie and a cheese steak}.  Franklin's makes sure their sandwiches are using the very best breads "Amoroso's" .  We made sure the bread logo was in our pix.  Just had to share this Foodie moment with you all ^-^ You can Check out the Hoggie shop I went to http://www.franklinsclassic.com.
