Drain peaches and chop into small pieces. Place in bowl and cover with 1/4-cup amaretto. Set

Combine margarine, 1/3-cup sugar and 1/2-teaspoon cinnamon; beat until light and fluffy. Blend in 1 egg. Add 3/4-cup flour; mix well. Pat the dough onto the bottom of a 9" spring form pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, 3/4-cup sugar, and 3 tablespoons flour; mixing at medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add chopped peaches with amaretto liqueur; mix well. Pour over the crust.

Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees and continue
baking for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Loosen the cake from the rim of the pan; cool before removing
from the pan. Chill.
