Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel and slice about 4-5 fresh peaches to replace the canned ones. Make sure to add a bit of sugar to the fresh peaches if they are not very sweet, as this will enhance the overall flavor of the pie.
What can I substitute for peach juice?
If you don't have peach juice, you can use any other fruit juice like apple juice or orange juice as a substitute. This will slightly alter the flavor but still provide moisture and sweetness to the batter.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make Mammy's Peach Pie gluten-free, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum or add a teaspoon of xanthan gum for the right texture. The pie will be just as delicious!
