PEACH KUCHEN

This dessert disappears quickly every time I make it. It's kind of like peach pie with a yummy sweetened sour cream topping. You can serve it warm or refrigerated. We prefer it warm. I like to cut the recipe in half so I've included the whole recipe and the halved recipe to save you the math. It's a simple dessert that can bake while you're eating. I hope you enjoy it.
