Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches can be used in this recipe. Use about 4-5 medium-sized peaches, peeled and sliced. Just be sure to adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness of the peaches, as fresh fruit can vary in sweetness.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this peach cobbler pie gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that other ingredients, like baking powder if added, are also gluten-free. This adjustment will still yield a delicious dessert.
What can I do if my pie is too runny?
If your pie turns out too runny, it may be due to excess juice from the peaches. You can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the peach mixture before pouring it over the batter to help thicken it. Additionally, baking a bit longer can help set the filling.
