A (Simple) Summery Delight: Peach Küchen

I was thrilled when my dear friend, Wanda Urbanska, was writing Fruit Orchard Cookbook and asked me to contribute a favorite recipe. It's simple and summery.
 

I wrote, "The summery perfume of peach kuchen baking in my mother's kitchen is one of my fondest July and August memories. The cozy morning aroma of Mom cooking before the heat of the day set in wafted up the winding staircase, gently blending a touch of cinnamon and peaches with the flowers in full bloom."
