I love to devour peach desserts. Well truth be told I love to devour desserts period. I was first introduced to peach kuchen by my mother-in-law. Kuchen is the German word for cake and the dessert is like an open faced pie. I found a yummy recipe a while ago in Midwest Living magazine, that I would love to share with you. When I am entertaining during the summer, this is one of my go to recipes. It's so simple, yet so scrumptious.
Ingredients
1 1/2cups all-purpose flour
3/4cup granulated sugar
1 1/2teaspoons baking powder
1/4teaspoon salt
1/4teaspoon ground nutmeg or cinnamon
1/4cup butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2cup milk
2 cups sliced fresh peaches or frozen unsweetened peach slices, thawed and well drained on paper towels
1/3cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon light-color corn syrup
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Vanilla or peach ice cream
Directions
- Grease and flour a 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender, cut in the 1/4 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in center of flour mixture. In a small bowl, combine egg and milk. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).

We are declaring this week peach week here at Cupcakes & Confetti! August is national peach month, and we celebrate peaches in our neck of the woods during Labor Day weekend. The reason being is that our hometown has a peach festival at this time. We spend most of the time at my parents house and go back and forth to all the peach festivities and enjoy all the peach goodness. So how about a little touch of peach for your home?

As I mentioned in a previous post, my family went away for a few days last week to the west side of the state. The days were filled with making sandcastles, splashing in the lake and just making wonderful memories. School will be starting up again soon and my husband will go back to teaching, my oldest daughter will be starting second grade and now summer is slowly reaching its' slumber. I had such an amazing and fast summer that included many lunches and dinners outside and my days ended with wiping away melting ice cream from sticky fingers and faces. My girls are growing as quickly as the summer passes, and I am trying to embrace and breathe in every moment. I hope you had a brilliant summer too, whether enjoying chats with friends or creating memories with family. Share some of your favorite summer memories with us. We love comments.
