Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits besides peaches?

How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. You can check by inserting a toothpick into the crumb topping; it should come out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
