Peach Kuchen image

This recipe comes from a junior league cookbook, Above and Beyond Parsley. It is simply delicious and easy. I always serve mine with vanilla bean ice cream. Tip for an easy way to peel the peaches - blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then immediately place them in icy cold water and slip the skins right off!

I made this kuchen for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. The crust was especially good. I used a mix of white and whole wheat flour, and I think that gave it a really nice flavor. I also added a little bit of cinnamon to the peaches
