Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel, slice, and ensure you have about the equivalent of a 29 oz. can. Fresh peaches will offer a brighter flavor, but be sure to adjust the baking time as they may require less time to soften.
Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the pie crust mix with a gluten-free blend or use almond flour combined with a bit of coconut flour for a gluten-free version. Always check your sugar and butter for gluten-free labeling as well.
Can I add other fruits to the recipe?
Certainly! This recipe is versatile; you can mix in other fruits like blueberries or sliced strawberries for added flavor. Just be sure to adjust the sugar if your additional fruits are very sweet.
