Tips & Substitutions

You could also substitute butter for margarine if preferred. To ensure the pie crust is flaky, chill it before adding the filling. For an extra touch, sprinkle some sliced almonds on top before baking.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It can be kept for up to three days. If you want to reheat slices, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This will help maintain the crispness of the crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits in this pie?
Yes, you can substitute other fruits such as nectarines or plums for the peaches. Just ensure the fruits are ripe and sweet, as they will contribute to the overall flavor of the pie. If using berries, consider adjusting the sugar since they can be more tart.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when it is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges. You can also insert a toothpick into the filling; it should come out clean if the pie is fully cooked. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
Can I freeze the pie before baking?
Absolutely! You can freeze the pie before baking. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to serve, bake directly from frozen, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time to ensure it cooks through.
