Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the peach filling. If fresh peaches aren’t available, frozen peaches can work in a pinch; just be sure to thaw and drain them first. To make this recipe even simpler, you could use a store-bought biscuit dough for the topping instead of making your own.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat. This peach pie pairs beautifully with Butter Tarts as a delightful dessert duo. A side of fresh berries can add a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the pie. Enjoy it as a comforting dessert at family gatherings or summer barbecues.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover peach pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 15-30 seconds or warm the entire pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This helps maintain the biscuit topping's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fruit for this pie?
Absolutely! You can substitute the peaches with other fruits like cherries, apples, or berries. Just adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose. For instance, tart cherries may require a bit more sugar to balance the flavors.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This mixture will work perfectly for the biscuit crust in this recipe.
Can I freeze the peach pie?
Yes, you can freeze the peach pie! To do so, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating for the best texture.
