Ingredients
Instructions

- Pour the batter over the peaches.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don’t have fresh peaches, canned peaches work well; just ensure they are well-drained to avoid excess moisture. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the taste. If you want a bit of crunch, sprinkle some oats on top before baking. This recipe is similar in ease to Grandma'S Sour Cream Meatballs, making it a great choice for gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a side of Florida Spinach Salad for a refreshing contrast. Enjoy it as a delightful dessert after a hearty meal or as a sweet treat with coffee during brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain its texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used, but make sure to thaw and drain them well before adding them to the pie. This will help prevent excess moisture from making the batter soggy. If using frozen fruit, consider adding a bit more baking time.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it, especially after the 20-minute mark.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to prepare the batter just before pouring it over the peaches to ensure it stays fluffy. If you need to prep ahead, you can mix the dry ingredients in advance and combine them with wet ingredients just before baking for optimal results.
