I love peach kuchen or any other fruit kuchen. My mother made many different ones, and this is one of my favorites. Kuchen is a kind of  German pie, and thanks to the colonization of the South of Chile by many German families during the 1800s, they are popular and loved in the whole country. Visit our collection of Kuchen recipes here. There are many favorites like Poppyseed Kuchen.

Peach Kuchen

I made some adjustments to the recipe to make it easier. You can make it with fresh peaches or canned. The result is almost identical, and both versions are popular in Chile.

Kuchen is usually made in Chile for a special Once or Sunday Once. You can buy Peach kuchen in many bakeries, but making it at home is still popular. Another similar pastry is the Tarta Frola de Duraznos, common in Argentina and related to Italian immigrants.

Peaches

This version doesn't have much cream and is more generous with the dough (my favorite part).Kuchen de duraznos
