For a twist, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this pie?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Make sure to thaw and drain them to remove excess moisture before mixing with the other ingredients to prevent a soggy pie. You may need to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the frozen fruit.
What can I substitute for sugar if I want a healthier option?
You can substitute sugar with honey, maple syrup, or a sugar alternative like stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Keep in mind that these may alter the flavor slightly, so adjust to taste.
How can I prevent the crust from getting soggy?
To prevent sogginess, make sure to bake the pie immediately after assembling it. You can also pre-bake the pie crust for a few minutes before adding the filling, which helps create a barrier against moisture.
