Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine melted butter, sugar, self-rising flour, and milk in a mixing bowl and mix well.
- Pour half of the dough mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches with syrup, salt, and spices (mace, nutmeg, cinnamon) and mix well.
- Pour the peach mixture over the dough in the casserole dish.
- Add the remaining dough on top of the peaches.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F.
- Then turn the oven to 400°F and bake for an additional 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using unsalted butter instead of regular butter. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make a substitute by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. To enhance the spices, add a pinch of cinnamon to the peach mixture. If fresh peaches are available, feel free to use them instead of canned for a fresher taste.
Serving Suggestions
This Easy Crust Peach Pie is delightful on its own but pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Serve it warm for a comforting dessert, or enjoy it cold for a refreshing treat. It also makes a great addition to a summer picnic alongside dishes like Cool Summer Dip.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat the entire pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can definitely use fresh peaches! Just peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches to match the quantity in the recipe. Toss them with a bit of sugar to enhance their sweetness and follow the recipe as usual.
What can I substitute for butter?
If you need a butter substitute, you can use coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative. For a lighter option, unsweetened applesauce can also work, though it may alter the flavor slightly.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
