Easy Peach Pie
A simple and delicious peach pie featuring sweet, ripe peaches baked under a buttery, fluffy batter, perfect for summer gatherings and dessert lovers alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel and slice the peaches.
- Melt the butter in a baking dish.
- If the peaches are bitter, sprinkle some sugar over them.
- Arrange the sliced peaches on top of the melted butter in the dish.
- Pour the batter made from sugar, self-rising flour, and butter over the peaches.
- Bake at 350°F until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter pie, consider using ripe, juicy peaches and adjust the sugar to taste. If self-rising flour isn't available, you can substitute all-purpose flour mixed with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. For a twist, add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for additional flavor, which pairs beautifully with the fresh peaches.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach pie warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. It also pairs well with freshly brewed coffee or a glass of sweet tea. For a delightful brunch option, consider serving alongside Baked Apple Pancakes for a delicious spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This will help maintain its crispy topping while ensuring the peaches remain tender.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this pie?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the pie. Adjust the sugar if needed based on the sweetness of the frozen fruit.
What can I use instead of self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This will give your pie the lift it needs.
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 batter comes out clean. Keep an eye on it as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
