Mini Peaches 'n' Cream Pies




2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese
1 large egg
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
1 package (4 ounces) mini graham cracker crusts (6 crusts)
1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in heavy syrup

Preheat oven to 300°F. Beat cream cheese, egg and 1 Tablespoon sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Divide cream cheese misture among graham-cracker crusts. Place pies on a baking sheet.

Bake pies until filling is almost set but slightly jiggly in center, 12-14 minutes. Remove pies from oven; place on wire racks to cool slightly.

Drain sliced peaches, reserving 1 Tablespoon liquid. Top each pie with 2 or 3 peach slices. Combine reserved peach liquid and remaining sugar in a small bowl; whisk until blended. Drizzle mixture over each pie. Serve pies warm.

Makes 6 mini pies
