Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain the canned peaches, reserving 1/2 cup of the syrup.
- Combine sugar, flour, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan.
- Add the reserved syrup to the dry ingredients.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
- Pour the cooked filling into the pastry-lined 9-inch pie dish.
- Dot with butter or margarine, then add the top crust and seal edges.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon along with the nutmeg. If fresh peaches are in season, substitute about 4 cups of sliced fresh peaches for the canned ones. To avoid a soggy crust, you can pre-bake the pastry for 10 minutes before adding the filling. This Golden Peach Pie pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of Golden Peach Pie warm or at room temperature, ideally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. It makes a delightful dessert for summer gatherings and pairs nicely with a light salad or a glass of sweet iced tea. For a fun twist, serve it alongside Nana'S Zucchini Bread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, 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. Enjoy it warm for the best flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches in this recipe. Thaw and drain them well to remove excess moisture before combining with the other ingredients. This will help maintain the pie's texture.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. You can also check the center with a knife; it should come out clean if the filling is set. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
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 before serving, or enjoy it cold for a refreshing treat. This pie is perfect for making ahead for gatherings.
