Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using unsweetened applesauce instead of margarine. If you don't have buttermilk baking mix, you can substitute it with equal parts all-purpose flour and baking powder. For added flavor, sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg over the peaches before baking. This recipe is versatile; try using other canned fruits like pears or cherries for a different twist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just slice and prepare about 4-5 medium peaches, and make sure to adjust the sugar based on their sweetness. Fresh peaches will give a more vibrant flavor and texture to the dessert.
What can I substitute for margarine?
You can easily substitute margarine with an equal amount of melted butter or coconut oil for a different flavor profile. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, use a plant-based margarine or vegan butter instead.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the batter has risen to the top and is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Keep an eye on it after about 30 minutes to ensure it doesn't overbake.
