Directions
-
Drain the canned peaches, reserving the juice. Dice approximately 1 cup of the drained peaches for the filling and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of the granola, 2 tablespoons of honey, and about 1/2 cup of the reserved peach juice.
-
Press the granola mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch glass pie pan to form a crust.
-
In a separate medium bowl, beat the fat-free cream cheese with an electric mixer until it is smooth and softened.
-
Fold the diced peaches into the softened cream cheese until evenly distributed.
-
Spread the cream cheese and peach mixture evenly over the prepared granola crust.
-
Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the crust to set and the filling to chill.
-
Before serving, arrange the remaining peach slices on top of the chilled filling.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of granola over the top for added texture and crunch.
