Melba Cheesecake Pie

This is quick to make up in your microwave, but you can also bake it in the oven. It has a terrific flavour, all the men in my family love it, and is nice to make when fresh peaches are out of season.

Steps

Make crust first.

Microwave butter in 9-inch glass pie plate 1 / 2-1 minute on high , or until melted.

Mix in crumbs and 2 tbsp sugar.

Press onto bottom and up sides of pie plate.

Microwave on high 1-1 / 2- 2 minutes or until hot.

Next , make filling.

Thoroughly drain peaches.

Arrange on crust.

Microwave cream cheese in glass mixing bowl 1 minute on medium or until soft.

Blend in remaining ingredients except jam and amaretto.

Pour over peaches.

Microwave on high 3-1 / 2 to 4-1 / 2 minutes or until edges are set.

Rotate once if your microwave does not have a turntable.

Let cool.

Stir liqueur into jam.

Spoon onto pie and spread to cover.

Refrigerate until served.

You can make this in a conventional oven.

Mostly follow above directions but do the following instead of the above.
