You can also substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend if needed. Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of vanilla extract to the sour cream mixture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches can enhance the flavor of the pie. Just be sure to peel and slice them, and adjust the sugar if the peaches are particularly sweet or tart. Use about 4-5 medium peaches to replace one large can.
What can I use if I'm out of sour cream?
If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute it with plain Greek yogurt or buttermilk. Both alternatives will maintain the creaminess of the filling while adding a unique flavor twist. Just ensure the consistency is similar to that of sour cream.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is set. You can test this by gently shaking the pie; if the filling jiggles slightly in the center but is firm at the edges, it’s ready. Baking time may vary, so keep an eye on it as it nears the 30-minute mark.
