Apple Or Peach Pie
A warm, comforting fruit pie with a tender crust, featuring sweet apples or peaches, perfect for family dessert or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour, sugar, and sweet milk together to create the batter.
- Pour melted butter into a baking dish.
- Arrange sliced apples or peaches on top of the melted butter.
- Pour the batter over the fruit.
- Bake at 350°F until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don't have sweet milk, you can substitute with regular milk and add a tablespoon of vinegar to sour it. To enhance the fruit flavor, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg over the apples or peaches before adding the batter. Ensure the butter is fully melted to create a deliciously crisp base.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence. It pairs beautifully with Your Choice Cheesecake for a dessert spread. Fresh whipped cream can also elevate the experience, making it a perfect end to any meal or special occasion.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the pie to cool completely before storing it. Cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen fruit can be used in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before layering it in the baking dish to avoid a soggy pie. This will help maintain the desired texture and ensure the batter cooks evenly.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. You can also insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean if the batter is fully cooked. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie filling and batter a day in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, simply pour the batter over the fruit and bake as directed. This makes it convenient for gatherings or busy weeknights.
