This pie is also great served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or try it with Cool Whip for an easier topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in your pie. This will help maintain the pie's texture and prevent it from becoming watery.
How do I know when the pie filling is thick enough?
The filling should coat the back of a spoon when it's thickened properly. It should be thick enough to hold the peaches without being runny. Keep an eye on it while cooking to avoid overcooking and making it too thick.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling and assemble the pie a day in advance. Just keep it refrigerated until you're ready to serve. The flavors will meld beautifully overnight, making it even more delicious!
