Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just ensure they are thawed and drained of excess moisture before using them in the recipe. This helps maintain the right texture and prevents the batter from becoming too soggy.
Can I add other fruits to the pie?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for added flavor and color. Just be mindful of the moisture level, as some fruits may require adjustments to baking time or sugar.
Is this recipe suitable for gluten-free diets?
You can make this Peach Cake Pie gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that the baking powder is gluten-free as well. The texture may vary slightly, but it will still be delicious!
