Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a perfectly toasted flavor, be sure to watch the oatmeal and almonds closely while toasting, as they can burn quickly. If you don’t have slivered almonds, chopped walnuts or pecans can be a great substitute. For added sweetness, consider mixing in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup with the melted butter.
Serving Suggestions
This delightful Fresh Peach Parfait Pie is best served chilled. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of additional vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. It also goes well with a light summer salad or served alongside a slice of Mr. Dave'S Fudge Brownie Pie for a sweet treat combo.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover parfait pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you need to reheat it, consider letting it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. It can also be enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert.
