Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. If you prefer a thicker pie, you can substitute half of the milk with heavy cream. Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste; nutmeg also works well as an alternative spice. To enhance the sweetness, add a bit of brown sugar. This recipe is a great take on classic American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a classic dessert experience. It pairs wonderfully with Crescent Garlic Toast as a savory contrast, making it a delightful end to a meal. Consider adding a sprinkle of extra cinnamon on top for presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches can be used, just make sure to peel and slice them before adding to the mixture. Depending on their ripeness, you might want to adjust the sugar content, as fresh peaches can vary in sweetness.
What can I do if my pie doesn't set?
If your pie doesn't set after baking, it may need more time in the oven. Check it after 30 minutes and add additional baking time in 5-minute increments until it is golden and firm. Allowing it to cool completely before slicing can also help it firm up.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version of this peach pie, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum or add a teaspoon for better texture. This way, you can enjoy the delicious flavors without the gluten.
