Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine in a saucepan.
- Add sugar, eggs, and flour to the melted margarine and mix well to form the filling.
- Arrange the sliced peaches evenly in the deep dish pie crust.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the peaches, covering them completely.
- Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour or until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon in the filling. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works as a perfect substitute. Adjust the sugar based on the ripeness of the peaches; sweeter peaches may require less sugar. Be sure to slice the peaches thinly for even cooking, enhancing the texture of the pie. This recipe is also great with other fruits, so feel free to experiment!
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Easy Peaches 'N Cream Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent touch. It pairs beautifully with Cooked Eggnog during festive gatherings. For a balanced meal, consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a light yogurt parfait to complement the pie's flavors without overwhelming them.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the crust's crispness while keeping the filling deliciously creamy. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the pie for later?
