1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sugar, divided
4 eggs, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla, divided
1 cup pecan halves
1 cup light corn syrup
3 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced

3. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla; beat until well blended.  Pour into crust.  Sprinkle evenly with pecans.
4. Beat remaining 3 eggs, corn syrup, remaining sugar and vanilla with mixer until creamy.  Pour over pecans.
5. Top with peach slices in a fan design.
6. Bake 40-45 minutes or until center of pie is set, covering edge with foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes to prevent over-browning, if necessary.  Cool on rack.
