Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the pie. This will help maintain the filling's texture. Adjust the sugar if the frozen peaches are sweetened.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You can gently shake the pie; if the center jiggles slightly but is not liquid, it is ready. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Can I add spices to the filling?
Absolutely! Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the flavor of the peaches. You could also consider a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth. Just be cautious not to overpower the natural peach flavor.
