Peach Pot Pie
A warm and fruity peach pot pie featuring a fluffy batter and tender peaches, perfect for cozy family dinners or dessert gatherings with a nostalgic twist.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a Pyrex dish.
- Mix together the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk in a bowl.
- Pour the batter mixture over the melted butter in the dish.
- Add frozen peaches over the batter.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and baking powder (1 cup flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder). To enhance sweetness, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, which pairs beautifully with the peaches.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. This dessert also pairs well with a light salad or a cup of tea for a balanced meal. For a delicious twist, enjoy it alongside Lazy Girl Peach Cobbler for a fruity dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the Peach Pot Pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, ensuring the crust remains crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel and slice them, then toss them in a bit of sugar to enhance their sweetness before adding them to the batter. Fresh peaches will provide a slightly different texture but will be equally delicious.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free Peach Pot Pie, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that includes xanthan gum. Ensure that all other ingredients are gluten-free as well to avoid cross-contamination.
What can I do if the top is browning too quickly?
If the top of your Peach Pot Pie is browning too quickly, you can loosely cover it with aluminum foil during the last half of baking. This will prevent it from burning while allowing the inside to cook through properly.
