Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just thaw and drain them thoroughly before adding to the mixture. This will help maintain the correct consistency and prevent excess moisture in your pie.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the nut layer. A toothpick inserted into the filling should come out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator before baking. Just be sure to cover it tightly. Bake it just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
