Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier crust, consider using cold butter or shortening mixed into your pie crust mix. If you don't have allspice, a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg works well as a substitute. You can also use fresh peaches when in season for a more vibrant flavor. To enhance sweetness, add a tablespoon of sugar to the diced peaches before mixing them with the pudding.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of the Astounding Peach Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. It pairs beautifully with Favorite Refrigerator Dinner Rolls for a delightful meal. Additionally, consider offering a side of fresh fruit salad to complement the pie's sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. For the best texture, avoid reheating the entire pie at once as it may become soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used and may provide a more robust flavor. Be sure to peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches to replace the 16 oz. can. Adjust the sugar in the pudding mix if needed, as fresh peaches can be less sweet than canned ones.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make the pie gluten-free, substitute the pie crust mix with a gluten-free alternative, such as almond flour or a pre-packaged gluten-free pie crust. Ensure that the pudding mix you use is also gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten.
Can I freeze the peach pie?
Yes, you can freeze the peach pie. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer. To enjoy later, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as needed for the best texture.
