Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter. You can substitute the self-rising flour with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. If you prefer a healthier option, try using almond milk instead of regular milk. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose, especially if using tart berries.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. This pie pairs beautifully with a light salad or a scoop of yogurt for a balanced meal. For a comforting dessert, consider serving it alongside the Delicious Hominy Casserole for a delightful dinner experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of canned fruit?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit; just ensure to thaw and drain excess liquid before adding it to the batter. This will help maintain the pie's texture and prevent it from becoming too watery.
What other fruits work well in this recipe?
Besides peaches, apples, and blackberries, you can also use blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries. Each fruit will impart its unique flavor, so feel free to experiment based on your preferences.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it before serving to enjoy it warm. This makes it a great option for gatherings or when you want a quick dessert ready to go.
