Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add milk, corn syrup, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and self-rising flour.
- Mix until smooth.
- Stir in shredded coconut and chopped peaches.
- Pour the mixture into a greased and floured 10-inch pie plate.
- Top the peach mixture with chopped pecans and sprinkle generously with nutmeg or cinnamon.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the custard is set.
- Allow to stand for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of milk. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. To enhance the pie's sweetness, feel free to add more sugar or a splash of peach liqueur. Make sure your peaches are ripe for the best flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This incredible peach pie is delightful as is but pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a cup of coffee. It also makes a nice dessert for summer gatherings or holiday meals.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover peach pie should be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or warm it in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. Enjoy it warm or chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches for this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain excess moisture before adding them to the pie mixture. This will help prevent a soggy pie crust and ensure even cooking.
What can I substitute for coconut if I do not like it?
If you're not a fan of coconut, you can simply omit it from the recipe. Alternatively, you can replace it with crushed graham crackers for added texture or use chopped walnuts for a different nutty flavor.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the custard is set and the top is golden brown. You can gently shake the pie plate; if the filling jiggles slightly but is mostly firm, it's ready. Additionally, a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
