Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, corn syrup, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon until well combined.
- Fold in peeled and chopped peaches, chopped pecans, and coconut.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared pie dish; the custard will form its own crust during baking.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until the filling is set and golden brown on top.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the peach mixture. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can omit the pecans or substitute them with sunflower seeds. Make sure your peaches are ripe for the best sweetness and flavor. This recipe can also be adapted for a gluten-free version by using a gluten-free flour blend instead of self-rising flour.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Incredible Peach Pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with Peach Cobbler(Fresh) for a peach-themed gathering. Consider a side of fresh berries or a light salad to balance the sweetness when serving at a brunch or picnic.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, let the pie cool completely, then cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate. It will keep well for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm the entire pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

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 before adding to the mixture to avoid excess moisture. This will help maintain the texture of the pie and ensure it sets properly.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You can gently shake the pie dish; if the center jiggles slightly but is not liquid, it’s ready. It’s best to let it cool for a bit before slicing to allow it to firm up further.
What can I substitute for the corn syrup?
If you prefer not to use corn syrup, you can substitute it with an equal amount of maple syrup or honey. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the flavor, adding a distinct sweetness, but it will still be delicious.
