No Fail Peach Pie
A comforting and easy-to-make peach pie that combines sweet peaches with a tender crust, perfect for dessert or a sweet snack for family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a 2 1/2-quart Pyrex dish.
- Place in the oven and bake at 325°F until the crust comes to the top and browns.
Tips & Substitutions
For a no-fail crust, ensure your margarine is softened but not melted. If you prefer a sweeter pie, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach mixture. You can substitute fresh peaches for canned if they're in season, but adjust the sugar based on their natural sweetness. This recipe is versatile and pairs beautifully with Blueberry Wheat Muffins.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach pie warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. It also pairs well with a side of fresh berries or a light salad to balance the sweetness. For a delightful treat, enjoy it alongside Turtle Dessert for a delicious dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or rewarm the entire pie in a 325°F oven for 15-20 minutes, ensuring it’s heated through without burning the crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just be sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the recipe. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, then adjust the sugar based on their sweetness.
What should I do if the pie crust doesn't rise?
If the crust doesn’t rise, it could be due to the margarine being too melted or not enough air being incorporated during mixing. Make sure to blend ingredients just until combined and check the oven temperature with an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend. Ensure that the blend contains xanthan gum for proper texture. This way, you can still enjoy a delicious peach pie without gluten!
