Peach Kuchen

Ingredients

Crust

  • ½ cup soft butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup flour1 egg
  • 3 cups peaches about 1 pound

Custard:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 c sugar
  • 2 T flour
  • ¾ c milk
  • ¼ t nutmeg

Instructions

Crust: 

  • Combine the butter, sugar, and flour until well mixed and then add the egg, forming a crumbly mixture. Press into a well oiled 9 X 13 pan and set aside.
  • Mix all the custard ingredients together, beating until completely combined.
  • Slice the peaches and arrange evenly over the top of the crust. Pour the custard over the fruit, making sure all peices are covered.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes and then reduce heat to 350 and bake an additional 25 to 35 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a knife into the custard; if it "comes out clean" (i.e., the knife blade won't have any custard clinging to it), it will be done.

Notes

Also may use fresh nectarines, raspberries, strawberries, apricots or other fruits.
