Spread the cream cheese mixture over the peaches, keeping it within 1 inch of the edge of the crust.

Note
Ensure the butter is melted before adding it to the batter for a smoother texture.
You can substitute fresh peaches for canned if available; slice them thinly and arrange carefully.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream instead of milk in the batter.
This dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
If you prefer a crispier top, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, but watch closely to prevent burning.
