Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker filling, consider adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the pudding mixture. If you don't have vanilla instant pudding, you can substitute with butterscotch or banana pudding for a different flavor profile. To enhance the peach flavor, try adding a splash of peach extract or a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful peach pie warm or at room temperature. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top makes for a perfect pairing. It also pairs beautifully with Mom'S Pineapple Angel Food Pie for a dessert spread that guests will love.
