Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of ripe peaches and nectarines. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking mix. Make sure your butter is softened for easier mixing. If you want a sweeter pie, add an extra tablespoon of sugar. This recipe is delightful served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. For a refreshing twist, consider pairing it with a scoop of peach sorbet. This pie also complements a glass of sweet white wine or iced tea, making it a perfect end to a summer meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual pieces for 30-45 seconds, but the oven method keeps the crust crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this pie?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the pie. This may affect the baking time slightly, so keep an eye on it in the oven.
What can I substitute for butter in this recipe?
You can replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free option. The flavor will be slightly different, but it will still yield a delicious pie. Ensure the substitute is at room temperature for easy mixing.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. You can also insert a knife into the filling; it should come out clean. If the top browns too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
