A sweet and crunchy peach pie with buttery crust, brown sugar glaze, and toasted pecans and oatmeal—ideal for sunny afternoons or holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Arrange half of the peaches in the prepared pie crust.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, brown sugar, chopped pecans, raw oatmeal, and soft butter until crumbly.
- Crumble half of the dry mixture over the peaches in the crust.
- Repeat with the remaining peaches and the rest of the crumb topping, then pour the reserved peach juice over the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F, then reduce the temperature to 325°F and bake until golden brown and set, about 30 more minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking mix. Make sure the pecans are finely chopped for better texture. If you prefer a sweeter pie, increase the brown sugar slightly. You can also replace the peaches with other fruits like cherries or blueberries for a different flavor profile. This pie is inspired by classic American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Peachy-Praline Pie warm or at room temperature, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. It pairs beautifully with a side of whipped cream or a fruit salad. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside Cherry Salad Jello for a colorful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help retain the pie's crispiness and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used instead of canned. You will need about 4-5 medium peaches, peeled and sliced. Make sure to adjust the sugar level based on the sweetness of the fresh fruit, as they may be less sweet than canned peaches.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is set. You can check for doneness by gently shaking the pie; if the filling jiggles slightly but is not liquid, it's ready. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and refrigerate it before baking. Just cover it with plastic wrap. When you're ready to serve, bake it as directed. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
