- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for cream cheese. If fresh peaches are in season, they can be used instead of canned peaches for a more vibrant flavor. Make sure to adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of the peaches. Ensure the batter is well mixed to avoid lumps, which can affect the texture of the pie.
