Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For added texture, try mixing in a handful of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.
Serving Suggestions
This quickie peach pie is perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. For a more filling meal, serve alongside a light salad or a slice of Dianne'S Corn Pudding to balance the sweetness.

Absolutely! You can substitute self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that includes a leavening agent. This will allow you to enjoy a gluten-free version of this delicious peach pie without sacrificing flavor.
How can I make the pie more flavorful?
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter. You can also toss the peaches with a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon before placing them on top of the batter for added sweetness and warmth.
