Peach and Cream Cheese Pie (mom's recipe)

Crust:
8 Graham Crackers-crushed
3 T. Sugar
6 T. Butter, melted
1 tsp. Cinnamon ( I add this, but it wasn't in the original)
Mix together and press into pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees, 5-8 minutes.
Chill until completely cooled down.

Cream Cheese Filling:
3 oz. cream cheese-softened
dash of salt
1/3 C. Powdered Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp. Almond (I add this, but it wasn't in the original)
1 C. Whipping Cream-whipped
Blend the cream cheese, salt, powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond together, then fold in the whipped cream.  Put in cooled pie shell and refrigerate.

Topping:
Cook and mash (2) peaches until liquid
Blend 1/2 C. Sugar with 3-4 T. cornstarch, add to peach mixture and stir.
Add 1 tsp.  Lemon Juice
Stir and cook until thickened and clear.

Add 3 sliced peaches to this mixture and cool.  When cool pour on top of pie and chill.

I double this sometimes and put in a 9x13 pan and cut into squares when serving.
