Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this pie?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used in this recipe! Just make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the pie pan. This will help maintain the right texture and prevent the pie from becoming too watery.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make this pie gluten-free, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that includes a leavening agent. Ensure that all other ingredients, especially the oleo, are gluten-free as well for a delicious alternative that everyone can enjoy.
What type of peaches are best for this pie?
Freestone peaches are ideal for this pie as they are easier to slice and remove from the pit. Yellow peaches tend to be sweeter, while white peaches offer a subtle floral flavor. Choose ripe peaches for the best taste and juiciness in your pie!
