Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. If you don't have fresh peaches, canned or frozen fruit work well too; just ensure they're well-drained. You can substitute the milk with almond milk for a dairy-free version. If you prefer a sweeter pie, increase the sugar slightly to suit your taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Heavenly Apple Salad for a light side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fruit for this pie?
Absolutely! While peaches are delicious, you can substitute with other fruits like cherries, blueberries, or even a mix of berries. Just adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit used.
What should I do if the crust isn't browning?
If the crust isn't browning as expected, consider increasing the oven temperature slightly or placing the pie on a higher rack for better heat circulation. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking, and you can cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator before baking. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap. When you’re ready to bake, allow it to come to room temperature before placing it in the oven for even cooking.
