Easy Peach Cobbler With Cream Cheese Pie Crust

"I adapted this recipe from Sunset Magazine's "Cobbler for a Crowd". I did cut the sugar in the original recipe, which also calls for fresh fruit which has a better texture. I do add some fresh peaches for that reason when it is available."

<p>I was lucky to be born in Hawaii and I work as an ICU nurse in Honolulu. I love gardening and I have the sagging bookshelf full of books to prove it. I also love to bake, but I'm not really a good cook unless I have a recipe. I also have over 200 cookbooks and the cabinet is full!</p>
