Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the fruit mixture. If you don't have brown sugar, white sugar can be used, but the pie will be less caramelized. You can also substitute the biscuit dough with a pre-made pie crust for convenience. Ensure your fruits are ripe for the best sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful treat. This pie pairs beautifully with Doris' Pink Punch for a refreshing beverage option. For a more savory balance, consider serving alongside a light salad or cole slaw to can for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the crust's texture while warming the filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries and peaches for this pie. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid to avoid a soggy filling. Frozen fruit may also require slightly longer baking time to ensure it is heated through.
How can I make the pie crust from scratch?
To make a simple pie crust from scratch, combine 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of cold butter, and 1/4 cup of ice water. Mix until it forms a dough, then roll it out to fit your baking pan. This will provide a flaky texture that complements the fruit filling perfectly.
What can I do if the pie crust browns too quickly?
If the pie crust is browning too quickly, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil during the last part of baking. This prevents over-browning while allowing the filling to cook thoroughly. Keep an eye on it to achieve the perfect golden color.
